Historic home enthusiasts will find plenty to love in this New Hampshire Cape in the picturesque town of Wolfeboro near Lake Winnipesaukee.

Listed at $695,000, 5 Trask Mountain Road is a three-bed, three-bath home built in 1795. Measuring 2,311 square feet, the home is reached at the top of a long hill. There, it opens up to an area called Dimon Corner, surrounded by historic farmhouses. The property sits on 1.67 stunning acres.

“The property, at various times, served as a local tavern, and from 1900 to 1910, it actually was the local post office,” said Ronn Bronzetti with the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Verani Realty, who has the listing with Sara Reineman, citing a book about the area.

The front yard isn’t traditional. Instead, it features a lush English garden. Enter through the side door on the farmer’s porch and move into the open kitchen, which is full of unique surprises. The first thing you’ll see is the soaring ceilings, with beams running overhead. Oversized windows stream in natural light, while a pellet stove is great for heat. There’s a Dacor double oven range, Bosch commercial-grade dishwasher, and custom hand-built kitchen cabinets.

The kitchen flows naturally into the dining area, where the same wide-plank floors continue. Green French doors open to a screened-in porch, the ideal space for avoiding bugs on a warm summer evening.

A living room with a fireplace is an elegant gathering space, where the same wide-plank floors and bright windows welcome guests. Another room, painted a soft green color, could function as a formal dining room, but is currently used as a study or den. It features deep, built-in bookshelves and a built-in seat by a window. It also has a fireplace.

A spacious mudroom drenched in blue has cubbies, hooks, and plenty of storage, as well as a door to a laundry room. There are two unfinished basements in the home.

The first floor is also home to a primary bedroom suite that’s drenched in dark green and features an en-suite bath with a shower of its own.

Upstairs, you’ll find two additional bedrooms. There’s also a fun lofted “nap nook” off the second-floor bathroom.

The two-level barn comprises the garage on the first level, which is attached to the house through the mudroom. Above the garage is a multipurpose unfinished space currently used for storage.

In the expansive backyard that’s ensconced with stone walls, you’ll find a bluestone terrace and some of Wolfeboro’s oldest maple trees. The rolling grass is also home to several raised vegetable beds, as well as a small pond that is circled by granite.

Just 10 minutes from downtown Wolfeboro, 5 Trask Mountain Road is being sold with its furnishings, which means you won’t even have to haul your stuff up in time for next summer.
