65 Academy Rd New Ipswich, NH 03071

Beautiful antique 1828 center chimney colonial in New Ipswich's historic downtown Village District II evokes the feel of a gracious, bygone era. Built as a private residence and also used as a rooming house for nearby Appleton Academy. Built in cabinets and paneling, hardwood and pine flooring, fireplaces and 12 over 12 pane windows are just some of the wonderful interior features. The level 1 acre lot has a spacious lawn with well established plantings, a private flagstone patio surrounded by lilacs, abutting conservation land and other historic village homes, monuments and properties. Entertaining is a delight in the updated kitchen and lovely formal dining room. Enjoy an afternoon with village views from the front screened porch, and use one or both of the light filled rooms off the center hall entry as home office or studio space. Spacious bedrooms upstairs and flexible rooms on the main floor offer possibilities for one level living. Paved drive and 2 car direct entry garage. Providing the possibility of supplemental income, vacation rental property, caretaker or au pair quarters, the bright, welcoming 1 bedroom apartment above the garage has a private entry, a kitchen with great work space and it's own laundry.
