OHU50K NOTES

Save this old house. The amazing Carpenter Gothic cottage is owned by the town of Chesterfield, New Hampshire, and they are looking for someone to save it.  Asking price is $1, with some conditions. A new owner is required to restore and maintain the exterior of the home with as much historical accuracy as possible. They must also show proof of funds to restore the house, estimated at $150,000 to $250,000. Chesterfield’s median home value is $260,000, and this home has bonus views of the Vermont mountains.

 

History

The cottage was built in 1850 by the Marsh family. It boasts a beautiful polychromatic slate roof, deep roof eaves, bargeboard, and wrap-around porch. It sits next to the fire station in the town’s center. In fact, from the late 1970s until 2007, the house served as the town offices. The house has been empty since 2008, when the town offices moved into a new building on the other side of the fire station.  If there are no takers, the town will eventually be forced to spend $30,000 to demolish the house.
