Step into this well-preserved 1830s Cape that perfectly blends historic character with modern comfort. Nestled on Christian Hill Road, a street steeped in history with homes dating back to the late 1700s, this 2,285 square foot home sits on a private 2.9-acre setting with 395 feet of road frontage. Historical photographs from around 1900 reference this property as the "Henry Capron House," adding to its intriguing past. This charming Cape offers the perfect country retreat, just minutes from Swanzey Lake with exclusive resident-only access, yet conveniently positioned 1.5 hours from Boston and 3 hours from New York City. The home features a spacious eat-in kitchen opening to a deck that overlooks peaceful woodland, a cozy living room with pellet stove supplemented by oil heat, and a three-season screened in porch. The separate dining room showcases built-in china cabinet and classic wainscoting, while the attached garage and large barn provide endless possibilities. While this property needs a little TLC and is being sold "as-is", it truly is a gem with tremendous potential. The generous road frontage offers expansion possibilities. Home and barn contents are negotiable, making this an exceptional opportunity to own a piece of New England history with modern convenience and endless potential. Delayed showings until the Open House this Saturday, July 19 from 11am-1pm. Stop by Swanzey's Old Home day after and fall in love with this home and town!

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
