About This Home

As of December 2019

A classic and custom-built Cape Cod-style home on 5+ acres very near the center of Historic Sandwich, NH! The lush topography of this secluded rural setting opens to close up views of the vast and readily accessible White Mountains. Extensive exterior renovations have been completed, including new roof, window & siding repairs & fresh paint. To the rear is an elevated deck that exploits its aerie perch to full visual advantage. This classic dwelling was, for nearly three decades, home to the prolific & popular Sandwich landscape artist Paula Kuehn. A twin-bay, detached garage/shed is set to one side of the house, offering ample storage space for personal property, motor vehicles & yard equipment. Impressive terraced walkways & planting beds await loving restoration. Inside, the traditional front entry opens to a vaulted foyer & dining hall framed by a windowed wall with splendid views. The dining ensemble opens right to a large eat-in kitchen with doors to both rear deck & relaxing three-season porch. Opposite is a casual living room w/ solarium, built-in bookcases & open-floor wood stove for warmth on cool mountain evenings. There are plenty of spaces for visiting guests to lodge & linger. Sleeping quarters include four rooms tied to a state-approved, three-bedroom sewage disposal system. Two have en suite baths & two others are serviced by a full, detached hall bath. Below is an unfinished dry walkout basement. Within the concrete enclosure are spaces formerly used as a woodworking shop, gym and office. Horses, sheep and goats can coexist comfortably on this property. Residents of Sandwich enjoy beach and boating access to restricted Squam Lake, the venerable setting of Academy Award-winning, "On Golden Pond", starring Henry Fonda and Katharine Hepburn. Price includes an abutting, parcel owned by a member of Seller's family (See Sandwich Tax Map R12-46A). To learn more, Contact Randy Hilman at (603)677-6713 or 603 569-HOME.
