*Real Estate**
Nestled near Lake Winnipesaukee, 5 Trask Mountain Road in Wolfeboro is a 1795 Cape‑style home that once served as a tavern and, from 1900‑1910, the town’s post office. Priced at $695,000, the 2,311‑sq‑ft, three‑bed, three‑bath residence sits on 1.67 acres of historic farmland.
The house is accessed via a side door on a farmer’s porch that leads into an open kitchen. High ceilings with exposed beams, oversized windows, and a pellet stove create a bright, airy feel. The kitchen boasts a Dacor double‑oven range, a Bosch commercial‑grade dishwasher, and custom hand‑built cabinets. Dining space flows from the kitchen, with wide‑plank floors and French doors opening onto a screened‑in porch—ideal for warm evenings.
A formal living room with a fireplace welcomes guests, while a soft‑green room—currently a study—features built‑in bookshelves, a window seat, and its own fireplace. A blue‑tinted mudroom offers cubbies, hooks, and a laundry door. Two unfinished basements provide additional storage.
The primary suite, painted dark green, includes an en‑suite bath with a separate shower. Two upper‑floor bedrooms and a lofted “nap nook” off the second‑floor bathroom add versatility. A two‑story barn houses a garage on the first level, connected via the mudroom, and an unfinished upper level used for storage.
The expansive backyard is framed by stone walls, a bluestone terrace, mature maple trees, raised vegetable beds, and a granite‑lined pond. Located just ten minutes from downtown Wolfeboro, the property is sold furnished, allowing a seamless move‑in.
