Lovingly restored & rebuilt, this historic post & beam home was initially built in 1786 for revolutionary war patriot, Captain Joshua Woodman. Relocated to a scenic country setting, the original home has been modernized & updated with meticulous attention to craftsmanship & detail. The exceptionally livable floor plan perfectly melds old house charm — beamed ceilings, amazing burnished wide board floors, & wainscotting — with modern amenities & an open concept kitchen/sitting/dining area. The recently painted interior features custom pine cabinetry, a custom staircase, & a center chimney w/ 3 period-style fireplaces all with decorative mantels. The home boasts a formal dining rm, living/sitting rm, 3 bedrooms, and 2.5 baths. The attached 2-story, post-and-beam barn/garage includes a large unfinished bonus room. The exterior of the clapboard home is freshly painted, is situated on a lovely 6- acre lot complete with a picturesque stream, and partially bordering a state forest. Perfect for a country home or farmette. Gilmanton is a quiet yet sophisticated town with many beautiful lakes and ponds. Good highway access to Concord (20 min), Manchester (30 min), Lake Winnipesaukee (25 min), & less than 90 min. from Boston; located near many spectacular ski resorts & hiking trials. Great small-town living that offers wide open spaces but is close to all city services. Beach lake access & ownership share at Gardner Cove is negotiable with sale. Delayed showings July 14, 15 & 16th.
