Single Family Residence
Listed by EXP Realty · Lynn A O'Connor
Property Description
Step back in time at the iconic Temperance Tavern, a beautiful 1793 colonial offering 14 rooms, 5+ bedrooms, 5.5 baths, (1 is a private owner's suite), set on 1.1 acres with an attached two-story barn. Located within the historic district, this property offers a rare blend of character, history, and potential. Rich with period detail, the home features six open-hearth fireplaces, original Indian shutters, and Moses Eaton stenciling. Once a prominent stagecoach stop on the Canada-to-Dover route, the property has also served as a post office, courthouse, Masonic lodge, and boarding house for students of the Gilmanton Academy. Recent extensive improvements (over $100,000) enhance both functionality and peace of mind. A new well installed in 2026 complements comprehensive plumbing upgrades, including pressure testing of supply lines, replacement of compromised pipes, valves, fittings, and circulator pumps, along with repairs to walls, ceilings, and floors where work was completed. The owner’s suite has been refreshed with refinished pine floors, removal of carpeting, and updated paint throughout the bedroom, bath, and sitting area. The attached barn has seen structural restoration, including repair of a previously bowed exterior wall, installation of a new window, custom-milled clapboards, and replacement of a deteriorated support post using a salvaged beam. The garage has been significantly improved with a new concrete floor, raised structure, added foundation, and a new roof in 2024, offering more usable space and durability. Additional updates include landscaping cleanup, removal of large trees, and clearing of contents across the property, while preserving select antique doors, shutters, and materials believed to be original to the tavern. A rare opportunity to own a true New Hampshire landmark—ideal as a distinctive residence or potential live/work setting. Buyers to perform their own due diligence with the town regarding permitted uses. Private showings only.
