23 Central Street

Few homes let you own a piece of Bartlett Village history quite like this one. This circa-1890 Victorian farmhouse sits on 0.85 acres right in the heart of low-tax Bartlett, with character you simply can't recreate today — starting with a parlor featuring original tin ceilings and woodwork sourced from the historic Mount Washington Hotel. Original hardwood floors run throughout, complemented by bamboo flooring in the main living areas, and the kitchen features concrete and granite island countertops, a gas range, a full pantry, and a tile-floored mudroom. A first-floor bedroom and renovated 3/4 bath add flexibility for one-level living, while upstairs you'll find three more bedrooms, including a primary suite with a full bath and large walk-in closet. Unwind on the half-wrapped screened porch. The big-ticket items are already handled: the oil-fired steam heating system is about 12 years old, electrical runs on modern circuit breakers, and roughly 95% of the windows were updated about 15 years ago. The roof is approximately 10 years old. A full basement adds storage and utility space, and a separate accessory structure is already roughed in with a pantry space, toilet, and propane heater — water and septic lines run nearby, offering a future owner the chance to finish a true accessory dwelling or studio. Location seals the deal. You're steps from Bartlett Village center, with Attitash, Bretton Woods, Wildcat, and Cranmore all an easy drive away, plus hiking, biking, and snowmobiling trails right out your door. Bartlett's preschool-through-eighth-grade school is just up the road, North Conway's shops and restaurants are minutes away, and Bartlett's low tax rate makes owning this much history and location more attainable than buyers might expect. Mature pear, plum, and peach trees round out the grounds of this true in-village original. Schedule your private showing today. OPEN HOUSE Sat 11/7 12pm-2pm.
