917 Washburn Road

Set along a quiet, town-maintained dirt road in the hills of Alexandria, this well-cared-for timber-frame home offers the best of classic New Hampshire living. On the drive home, pass farm stands, horses, apple orchards, hiking trails, and towering trees that create a green tunnel along the road, a setting that feels straight out of a Robert Frost poem, yet is wonderfully practical for everyday life. The home has been thoughtfully updated with a new kitchen and appliances, a new wood stove, new carpet, an updated water filtration system, and a carport, while retaining the character that makes it special. Inside, you'll find exposed beams and plank ceilings, a spacious living room with cathedral ceiling and wood stove, a private primary suite, two baths, and a full finished basement with a heated garage and workshop space. Set back from the road on two rolling acres, the property offers privacy, room to garden, and plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors. Whether you're looking for a peaceful second-home retreat tucked into the woods or a comfortable full-time residence, this is a home that has clearly been well loved and well cared for. And when adventure calls, you're just a short drive from Newfound Lake, Ragged Mountain Ski Area, and the hiking trails of Mount Cardigan. Alexandria residents can purchase an annual pass to Wellington State Park for $6. Quiet, comfortable, and quintessentially New Hampshire, this is a place to slow down and enjoy the way home feels.
