Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

Built in 1780, this duplex combines a substantially constructed main residence with a separate one-bedroom apartment. The primary home features a granite chef’s kitchen with a 9-foot island, prep kitchen and pantry, two laundry areas, a mudroom, multiple gathering rooms, and three full baths. Exposed timbers, broad-board ceilings, wide pine floors, substantial hearths, and a granite center-chimney foundation preserve the property’s New England character. Plumbing and electrical systems have been upgraded, while blown insulation, newer Rinnai propane heat, on-demand hot water, and a newer roof add modern practicality.

The apartment includes its own kitchen, living room, full bath, and heat, with the option to reconnect it to the main home through one interior door. A barn and lower level provide approximately 1,600 additional sq. ft. for workshop, recreation, fitness, hobby, or storage use. Exterior features include a nearly 1,000 sq. ft. rear deck, fenced backyard, generous parking, and access from Isabella Street. The property is near downtown Laconia, local services, the Laconia Bypass, and I-93.

  • Self‑contained 1‑bedroom apartment with kitchen, living room, full bath, and heat
