THE HENRY WHIPPLE HOUSE: Perched on a knoll in Bristol Village, this stunning 1904 example of a Queen Anne Victorian offers a glimpse into a bygone New England era, when prominent mill owners spared no expense to build their family mansion as symbol of their success. Built by true craftsmen, original features include 5 fireplaces (4 w/clay tiles), wood floors, ornate woodwork, custom wood wainscoting, and stained glass. Thoroughly and lavishly restored with loving attention to detail. Use as your own single-family home or embrace the lifestyle of an innkeeper. Currently run as a thriving bed and breakfast in the heart of the Newfound Lake Area. There are 5 guest rooms all with private modern baths accommodating 10-14 people and owners’ quarters in the main house. The carriage house contains 3 suites all with updated baths, accommodating an additional 16-20 people. The kitchen offers a soapstone sink, soapstone island, gas range, and original wood cook stove and is adjacent to the cook’s pantry as well as the butler’s pantry. Modern systems include 50+ year roof, FHW baseboard heat zoned to each room, town water and sewer. Relax on the wrap around porch or sit by the fire on a cold night. You could become the next steward of this historic property which was the first B&B to be listed on the NH State Register of Historic Places. This listing is for the real estate only. Turn key business is available for additional price. Showings start June 18, 2024 by appointment only.
