Maybe you've driven by it, or maybe you've dreamed about a home this special. That farmer's porch, the style, the timeless character. Tin ceilings, delicate detailed woodwork, that banister, those doors.... It's easy to love. Set on a corner in one of Haverhill's most beloved neighborhoods, Walnut Square, this 5 bed, 1.5 bath antique Colonial has held its character for over a century: stained glass windows, carved wood staircase, pocket doors, cedar closet, alcove, decorative moldings & trim work,a brick fireplace anchoring sun filled rooms. Vintage black & white tile baths. The walk up 3rd floor, once the maids quarters, is ready to become whatever you need it to be.Enclosed sun porch, garage, minutes to downtown Haverhill & tax free NH shopping. Whoever comes next writes the next chapter. Restore mto your own design, take it on as your next adventure, or update lovingly as you go. Step onto the porch. You'll know it's meant to be.
