23 Lake Tarleton Rd, Warren, NH 03279

Some antique homes ask for years of weekends. This one hands you the keys and lets you go hiking instead. Set beside Ore Hill Brook in the village of Warren, this 1853 Cape carries all the character you'd hope for - and none of the usual to-do list. The big-ticket work is done: a new metal roof, a new 100-amp electrical panel, a new tankless hot water system, a new well pump and pressure tank, new appliances, and a fresh coat of paint through all three bedrooms and [2 baths]. Outside, the 0.39-acre yard is small on maintenance and big on charm - impeccably kept, edged by the brook, with a tidy chicken coop ready for your first flock. A one-car garage keeps the snowblower and the gear dry. Warren Village School is a two-tenths-of-a-mile walk, and you're minutes from Mt. Moosilauke trailheads, Lake Tarleton, and the snowmobile and ATV trail networks that make this corner of the White Mountains a year-round playground. Whether you're after a first home that won't surprise you, a weekend basecamp for the Whites, or a simpler way of living with fresh eggs out back, this is antique New Hampshire with brand-new bones - priced to be the obvious buy! Also available is the adjacent Ore Mill restaurant & venue at 17 Lake Tarleton Rd - turnkey owner or staff housing next door. Inquire for details (MLS# 5099172).
