A great Country Property ready for new owners. Will be quite comfortable as is and is in a setting that will be worthy of future updates. The large family kitchen, with a spacious "mud room" between it and the attached over-sized garage, will be appreciated. The original 2-1/2 story colonial features spacious rooms, 3 fireplaces on the 1st floor and 1 tiny one upstairs. The center chimney was re-built several years ago. You'll also appreciate the original wide board floors, added closets, many recently painted walls & ceilings, bathrooms on both floors, and the natural cross-ventilation in most rooms. Outside, you'll enjoy 24 Acres of private rolling pastures, some woodlands, and a great 4+ stall horse Barn, and 2 other out buildings. Effingham is a member of the well-regarded Governor Wentworth Regional School District. K-6 students attend the c2003 Effingham Elementary School, <4 miles away. Middle, High & Technical classes are at the Kingswood complex in Wolfeboro. While this home and a few of its surrounding acres are located in the Lord's Hill Historic District, most folks will find the resultant regulations reasonable and quite helpful in preserving the town's historic character & charm. First time on market since mid 1980s.
