59 Court StreetHaverhill, NH 03765Sale Price: $140,000

A remarkably affordable opportunity to purchase a handsome 1790 brick home in the epicenter of the Haverhill Corner Historic District. Just off the double green, this two-bedroom, two-bath home is book-ended by the most desirable home in Haverhill and the attractive brick town library. 59 Court St. formerly served as a blacksmith shop and subsequently as a bistro. The hardwood floors and vintage window trim complement many fresh features such as new appliances, 200 amp service, and a freshly rebuilt second-floor deck. Alumni Hall, the elegantly restored, soaring structure two doors away is a center for robust cultural programming. Also 75 yards away are well-maintained, yet underutilized tennis courts! Opportunities abound: The paneled, formerly active third-floor is ready for reactivation; the second living room in the el connecting the house to the barn could be easily converted into a third bedroom, and the voluminous, sound barn could be repurposed. Setting aside these opportunities, the house could also be comfortably lived in exactly as it is. The drive to supermarket and I-91 in Bradford, VT and the big box stores in Woodsville, NH is under 10 miles. And the drive down Rte. 10 to the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center or the college itself is a simple undertaking, with nearby, free bus service for Dartmouth employees. In summary, 59 Court St. represents a wonderful opportunity to establish a new life in the remarkably intact historic hub of Grafton County.
