Step back in time without sacrificing comfort in this beautifully preserved 1809 antique cape in one of Southern NH's most sought-after school districts. Charm galore, there are endless built-ins and features of times past in this beautiful home.  Original woodwork and wide-plank hardwood floors tell the story, while thoughtful additions bring it into modern living - including a stunning sitting room with stone steps and slate floors, and a spacious first floor primary suite with an updated bath. The cathedral-ceiling porch with its antique candelabra is simply unforgettable, and the brick patio and pathway make the outdoor spaces feel like something out of a magazine.  Speaking of outdoors - this is where the property truly sets itself apart. A classic barn, a custom-built chicken coop and run, six raised garden beds, five fruit trees, and extensive perennial plantings make this a rare find for anyone craving space to grow and gather.  Inside, the updated kitchen features painted cabinets, a double oven, center island, and refinished floors. With 2.5 baths, hardwood throughout, one fireplace, and generous attic storage, the home lives larger than it looks. Major systems have been updated including the furnace (2016), hot water heater (2020), and electrical panel with generator hook-up (2019).  First floor laundry room, ample storage throughout, large dining room, office...there is endless flexibility to this homes layout and features. Brookline residents enjoy exclusive access to a town beach, miles of hiking and walking trails, and a tight-knit community feel - all just minutes from the Massachusetts border, making it an ideal location for commuters. A winery next door and quiet, walkable streets round out a neighborhood that's genuinely hard to leave.
