Property Description
A Rare and Storied Retreat in the Heart of the Mount Washington Valley. Perched on the iconic Balcony Seat View in Intervale, 26 Balcony Seat offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a home steeped in New Hampshire's cultural and artistic legacy. Built in 1929 by Dorothy Bumstead-who acquired the land from the historic Dinsmore family-this timeless Colonial has remained in the same family for nearly a century. The property spans 1.6 acres of land with sweeping, unobstructed views of the Saco River Valley and Mount Washington-a breathtaking landscape that has drawn and inspired generations of artists, including members of the famed White Mountain School in the 19th/20th centuries. Thoughtfully expanded in the 1990s, the home is currently configured as a two-family residence but could easily be restored to a spacious single-family home. With 2,725 square feet, it offers 4 bedrooms, 2½ bathrooms, 2 fireplaces, and 2 kitchens. Outdoor highlights include a charming bandstand overlook, a summer bunkhouse, mature perennial gardens cultivated over generations, and a view from nearly every window. A true legacy property. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence, a generational legacy property, or a creative sanctuary, this home embodies the timeless spirit of Intervale and the grandeur of the White Mountains. Close to skiing, hiking, and the restaurants/shops of North Conway, yet privately set in one of the Valley's most picturesque corners. This is a rare opportunity.
