196 Deering Center Road, Weare NH 03281

Built in 1765, the Captain Jonathan Atwood House is a fine example of Colonial-era craftsmanship that has evolved to meet modern needs while preserving its original charm. The home is lovely, warm, and inviting. Its center chimney, rebuilt in the 1990s and resting on its original stone foundation, coincides with the home's first introduction to indoor plumbing and central heating. The ell and carriage sheds have since been repurposed, now serving as a comfortable family room and a functional two-bay garage. A perfectly private and expansive patio and deck invite quiet relaxation any time of day. The attached historic barn is now breathtaking once again, given new life through restoration and rebuilding from the bottom up by an area master timber framer over the past decade. Its life expectancy now extends well into the next century. The improvements are surrounded by 11 acres of quality land that is not only beautiful but has 4+ acres in hay and enjoys the benefit of current use tax savings. For those interested in small-scale farming, livestock, or horses, this is it. Or, if you’re looking for a special historic home in the country without the farm aspect, you could be swinging in the barn hammock while watching a local farmer mow the fields for you. The Capt. Jonathan Atwood House is quite literally a few minutes to local stores and restaurants, and is equidistant to the Manchester/Bedford area and Concord. SHOWINGS START SUNDAY 6/8 BY APPT.
