Amazing 18th Century Cape with 21st Century amenities!

Built in 1777 by one of Lyme's earliest settlers, this home retains most of its original features, including hand hewn beams, wide board floors and wall panels, three fireplaces, original hardware, and tucked-in cupboards and closets. Thoughtful updates include 12 over 12 windows, standing seam roof and rebuild of the original ell which includes a laundry and kitchen with granite countertops and soapstone sink. There are two carefully integrated baths, one with copper lined shower and one with clawfoot tub. There is a 30 foot long screened porch off the back of the house and an above ground pool tucked behind the evergreens. The house was raised up and a full walk-out basement was added as well as a granite foundation. Brick cobbled walk and granite benches complete the authenticity. In addition to the forced air furnace, there is a wood burning furnace. A two car barn/garage sits next to the house and there is a second two bay garage/workshop with power. Situated on 5.5 acres, this home is half a mile from the Dartmouth Skiway (Seller's children skied home from the Skiway). And the Appalachian Trail is also a half mile away. Nearby Green Woodlands is available for x-country skiing and off-road bicycling. Three and one-half miles to Lyme Common and 25 minutes to Hanover. This is a very special property with a rich historical past that is ready to continue into the future!
