44 Old Alstead Rd

Step back in time and settle into the simple charm of this 1890 Cape/Camp, once a little neighborhood schoolhouse and now a cozy place to call home. Tucked back from the busier road, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath gem offers peace, privacy, and plenty of old-fashioned New England appeal.
Original wood floors have been lovingly refinished, and fresh paint inside and out gives the home a bright, welcoming feel. Hand-crafted barn-style closet doors add a touch of rustic character, blending beautifully with the home’s historic roots. New windows let in wonderful natural light while keeping things snug through the seasons. All plumbing and electrical systems have been updated, along with a newer septic system and drilled well, so you can enjoy classic charm with modern peace of mind.
The side farmer’s porch is perfect for morning coffee and leads into a handy cloakroom that could easily serve as a small home office or mudroom. A dry, full basement provides great storage, and the ample attic offers exciting potential for future living space. A new stackable washer dryer set is easily accessible on the ground floor.
Outside, a fenced yard creates a safe spot for pets, gardens, or summer cookouts, and an open porch invites you to sit back and enjoy peaceful evenings under the stars. A water softener is already in place, making everyday living that much easier.
Whether you’re looking for a year-round home or a country retreat, this former schoolhouse is full of warmth, history, and opportunity — a true New England treasure just waiting for its next chapter. This could be your 1st home, your last, or your favorite vacation spot to get away from it all.
