About This Home
A Rare and Storied Retreat in the Heart of the Mount Washington Valley. Perched on the iconic Balcony Seat View in Intervale, 26 Balcony Seat offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a home steeped in New Hampshire’s cultural and artistic legacy. Built in 1929 by Dorothy Bumstead—who acquired the land from the historic Dinsmore family—this timeless Colonial has remained in the same family for nearly a century. The property spans 1.6 acres of land with sweeping, unobstructed views of the Saco River Valley and Mount Washington—a breathtaking landscape that has drawn and inspired generations of artists, including members of the famed White Mountain School in the 19th/20th centuries. Thoughtfully expanded in the 1990s, the home is currently configured as a two-family residence but could easily be restored to a spacious single-family home. With 2,725 square feet, it offers 4 bedrooms, 21⁄2 bathrooms, 2 fireplaces, and 2 kitchens. Outdoor highlights include a charming bandstand overlook, a summer bunkhouse, mature perennial gardens cultivated over generations, and a view from nearly every window. A true legacy property. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence, a generational legacy property, or a creative sanctuary, this home embodies the timeless spirit of Intervale and the grandeur of the White Mountains. Close to skiing, hiking, and the restaurants/shops of North Conway, yet privately set in one of the Valley’s most picturesque corners. This is a rare opportunity.
