About this home
Welcome to The Brook House, where cozy cottage charm meets peaceful New England country living! Set on . 75 beautifully landscaped acre with scenic conservation land and pastoral views nearby, this inviting Cape feels tucked away, yet is just 10 minutes from Keene and I-91. Inside, a cozy, comfortable cottage-like interior is filled with character. Real wood doors, vertical shiplap, warm wood floors and vintage details create a welcoming feel throughout. The living room invites you to settle in beside the brick fireplace with its vintage tile, wide-plank pine floors, built-in shelving and window seat overlooking the pond. A charming dining room and bright kitchen offer inviting spaces to gather. The main-floor primary bedroom provides convenience, with two additional bedrooms and a 3/4 bath upstairs. The full basement includes laundry and storage space. Outside, the magic continues! Listen to spring peepers by the pond, catch frogs in summer, cool off in the brook and skate when winter conditions allow. The brick patio is perfect for summer BBQs and evenings around the fire pit. Enjoyed as a small farmette, the property has welcomed chickens, goats, sheep and even an occasional summer cow! Six raised garden beds, a greenhouse, apple and peach trees, berries, Concord grapes and maples for collecting sap add homesteading charm. Mature trees, perennial gardens, neighboring conservation land and scenic pastures create a peaceful backdrop. Access to a snowmobile trail adds year-round adventure. Brook House has been a wonderful place to call home, filled with memories made in every season. The sellers look forward to seeing its next chapter unfold and this special property loved for years to come. Showings begin with Open House on Sunday, November 8 from 2-4 p. m. Seller is a licensed NH real estate agent.
