Centrally located off a scenic road on the outskirts of Bethlehem find this 'gem' of a home. Set back from the road at the edge of the forest, sits a seemingly unassuming Cape style home on 4.62+- acres. Upon entry, you are transported into an idyllic post and beam cottage with cathedral ceilings, wood floors, ample natural light and a stone hearth with a highly efficient Morso fireplace insert. Craftsmanship is evident throughout and exemplified in the hand carved 'corner blocks' for the window trim and mortise and tenon joinery. Bedrooms on the main level (half bath with laundry) and second floor (full bath). Open and airy loft space provides nooks for an office, reading area / lounging space. Home has been lovingly cared for with many upgrades over the past years - whole home generator (2024), Bosch combination tankless boiler and hot water heater (2021); freestanding deck off the living room area accessed by a sliding door. Exterior boasts an open lawn to the west - just the place to enjoy the evening 'magic hour' from the Adirondack chairs. Rustic pole barn is just waiting for your imagination; workshop? Mountain bike storage? Ideal secluded location with access to Bethlehem Trails Association mountain bike trails across the street, and yet just a few minutes to Bethlehem's charming main street with historic theater, brewpub, and other amenities. Ideally situated 15-20 minutes from either Bretton Woods/Crawford Notch and Cannon Mountain/Franconia, and ample opportunities for hiking and exploring the White Mountain National Forest. Littleton is a short drive to access the historic town's shops and restaurants, the food co-op and other groceries, and the convenience of home improvement and other big box stores. Bonus: home comes complete with most furniture included! OPEN HOUSE 7/18 from 10am to noon
