***OPEN HOUSE CANCELLED*** Step into a piece of history with this meticulously maintained 1785 Colonial, offering 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 4,032 sq. ft. of living space on a picturesque 2-acre lot in highly desirable South Hampton, NH—just minutes from the Massachusetts border. This exceptional property seamlessly blends historic charm with modern conveniences. Inside, you’ll find wide pine and hardwood floors, generously sized rooms, and period details that preserve its timeless appeal. Thoughtful updates include: new septic system, propane conversion for efficiency, updated kitchen, 1st floor central A/C, Radiant flooring in 2nd floor bathroom, new roof & windows, and versatile living spaces & rental potential. Adding to its appeal, this home features a potential for a one-bedroom apartment with a three-season porch, offering income potential or multigenerational living options.
