A Rare and Storied Retreat in the Heart of the Mount Washington Valley. Perched on the iconic Balcony Seat View in Intervale, 26 Balcony Seat offersa once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a home steeped in New Hampshire’s cultural and artistic legacy. Built in 1929 by Dorothy Bumstead—who acquired the landfrom the historic Dinsmore family—this timeless Colonial has remained in the same family for nearly a century. The property spans 1.6 acres of land with sweeping,unobstructed views of the Saco River Valley and Mount Washington—a breathtaking landscape that has drawn and inspired generations of artists, including members ofthe famed White Mountain School in the 19th/20th centuries. Thoughtfully expanded in the 1990s, the home is currently configured as a two-family residence but couldeasily be restored to a spacious single-family home. With 2,725 square feet, it offers 4 bedrooms, 2½ bathrooms, 2 fireplaces, and 2 kitchens. Outdoor highlights includea charming bandstand overlook, a summer bunkhouse, mature perennial gardens cultivated over generations, and a view from nearly every window. A true legacyproperty. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence, a generational legacy property, or a creative sanctuary, this home embodies the timeless spirit of Intervale and thegrandeur of the White Mountains. Close to skiing, hiking, and the restaurants/shops of North Conway, yet privately set in one of the Valley’s most picturesque corners.This is a rare opportunity.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
