“Fernside” is one of the oldest homes in the historic section of The Weirs. Built in 1889 by Jasper & Mary Avery, Fernside remained in the same family and was operated as a guest house until November 2007 when great granddaughter, Beth Lavertue died at the age of 88. After her passing, this remarkable old inn was painstakingly and lovingly restored to its former glory, evoking the charm and simplicity of a by-gone era.

Beth had many stories to tell about growing up around her great grandmother, Gram (Mary) Avery and grandmother, Rose Avery. They were hard working women who tended to the home and were great cooks using fresh foods from the garden and bartering for milk or eggs and other sundries as needed. The guests at Fernside were well fed. Life was much simpler, but was much harder than we imagine. The history of this home and its owners is displayed throughout the home with pictures and maps which add to the charm and atmosphere of this remarkable property.

There are six charming bedrooms, a bath complete with a claw foot tub, a sparkling kitchen, dining room, den, and a parlor for evening storytelling. But the best yarns will probably be heard on the wrap around porch with views of Winnipesaukee. The lovely yard features perennial gardens and flowering bushes.

This wonderful home is located in the heart of the Lakes Region and within a short distance to all Lakes Region attractions, restaurants, and activities. There are plenty of exciting things to do, but you will probably find yourself enjoying the simpler things of times gone by like sitting on the porch watching the boats go by, reading a book,  or perhaps playing a board game in the parlor. This home has that kind of affect on you…

The property is located in the commercial resort zone which would allow various business opportunities for a new owner and the front porch is the perfect place to plan your new venture. Schedule an appointment to visit Fernside soon…

If you are looking for a good solid home with some acreage you should take a look at the property at 203 Middle Route in Belmont. This is a 2,086 square foot, three bedroom, two bath, 1989 vintage, ranch style home on 5.5 acres that has a really great floor plan. You’ll find a master suite and kitchen on one end of the home, the living room and dining area in the middle, and two bedrooms on the opposite end. The living room has a wood burning fireplace and cathedral ceilings. Downstairs in the walkout basement there is a family room along with a new bathroom. This area could be used as an optional master suite. Other great features include new carpets, kitchen counters, and a metal roof. There is a large storage room in the basement plus a huge three car garage for all the toys. With an asking price of $229,900 it comes in at 87% of the town’s tax assessment of $266,100 which seems like a pretty good deal to me given the move in condition.

Another nice property at 8 West Winds Rd in Moultonborough is currently offered at $240,000, which is 81% of the assessed value of $297,000. This is a short sale so lender approval is required. This cape style home with a garage under was constructed in 2004 and has 1,950 square feet of living space. It features a first floor master suite, two bedrooms upstairs, three baths, a walkout basement, hardwood floors, back deck, and sits on a level 2 acre wooded lot. The low tax bill in Moultonborough make this deal even better.

If you love older historic homes, the Brick House at 525 Province Rd. in Gilmanton’s Historic District is a great deal given the condition and square footage of this property. This Federal Style home was built around 1820 and has 4,500 square feet of wonderfully restored living space and a fantastic attached barn. There are six bedrooms, three baths, nine fireplaces, wide pine board floors, and many other original features of the period. The home was meticulously restored by one of the area’s finest craftsman and has all modern systems in place. This home most recently housed a reproduction antiques and accessory store but would make a stunning residence, inn, or retail business location. Originally priced at $979,000, it has been reduced down to $579,000 OR 78% of assessed value. It seems like a good deal to me, but you still have to wonder what it cost to build back in 1820?
