14 Bidewee Rd, Harrisville, NH 03450

Description

Tucked away on approximately 2 acres in the picturesque town of Harrisville, this enchanting 1881 Cape offers a delightful blend of historic charm, cottage-style character, and peaceful country living. Affectionately known as “Bid-a-wee,” meaning “stay a while,” this inviting retreat lives up to its name! Surrounded by nature, beautiful stone walls, and thoughtfully maintained grounds, the property offers a sense of privacy and tranquility that's increasingly hard to find. Inside, warm wood tones, hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and charming period details create a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The country kitchen adds to the home's timeless appeal, while the inviting living room features built-in bookshelves and a newer gas heating stove (2023), perfect for curling up with a good book on a chilly New England evening. A full bathroom with a classic clawfoot soaking tub completes the first floor, with two bedrooms tucked upstairs. Outside, extensive recent improvements, including thoughtful tree clearing and pruning, drainage work, and a beautiful new stone and paver walkway, have enhanced both the landscape and functionality of the property. A wonderful bonus is the separate heated studio, measuring approximately 14.5' x 11', filled with natural light and complemented by its own cedar deck. Whether you're an artist, writer, hobbyist, or simply seeking a quiet space to escape, the possibilities are inviting! Additional outbuildings (even a historic Spotter Shed from WW II) provide storage and flexibility, while the surrounding grounds offer room to garden, gather around a fire, or simply enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. Located within walking distance of Silver Lake, Seaver Reservoir, Chesham Pond, and miles of outdoor recreation, this special property offers the perfect opportunity for a year-round residence or peaceful country getaway. Come discover the charm of Bid-a-wee, where you'll want to stay a while!
