Description
Set on over three acres in the heart of Wolfeboro, this stately 1897 Queen Anne Victorian, attributed to renowned architect George Barber, is a rare offering where history, character, and opportunity come together. Inside, the main house welcomes you with a gracious formal entry, double parlors, a large kitchen with formal dining room, three bedrooms, and 2.5 baths, plus an unfinished attic with potential for additional living space. Original architectural details shine throughout, from three working fireplaces to the grand turret with curved glass windows and beautifully preserved period millwork. Recent upgrades, including the addition of a full bathroom, refinished floors on the second level and stairs, mini-split systems, a new boiler, updated electrical, and fresh exterior paint, add comfort and ease while honoring the home’s enduring charm. Outside, a detached carriage house currently used for retail, a separate office, dual street frontage on Center and Willow, and Limited Business District zoning open the door to a range of future possibilities. Just steps from the Cotton Valley Rail Trail, downtown Wolfeboro, and Winnipesaukee’s Back Bay, this is more than a historic property. It is a setting for the next chapter.
