Description of 20 Maple St, Barnstead, NH 03225
Listing details for 20 Maple St, Barnstead, NH 03225 : Investor/rehab opportunity with strong upside in Barnstead. Set back from the road on ~1.3 acres of open yard and woods, 20 Maple Street is a 4BR/1BA antique home with a barn and rehab work already underway. Classic charm remains with wide pine floors, perennial gardens, and refinished tin ceilings.
Completed improvements include: newer roof on the house (metal roof on barn), working FHA heat, functional full bath, new windows, newer water heater, drilled well (1995), refinished/painted second-floor floors and walls, and a passed septic inspection. First-floor updates include trimmed windows and partial painting. A white kitchen setup (cabinets, counter, sink) is included; the kitchen has been gutted, re-supported, and fitted with a new subfloor. Sink drain is plumbed, and the laundry room is adjacent.
The property offers a rolling hill beside the barn—great for sledding—and an established garden area. The barn provides storage, workshop potential, or future value-add options.
Value-add scope (buyer to verify): roof work over existing bath, potential 2nd-floor half bath, porch flooring, siding, first-floor lighting, kitchen completion (water supply needed), and some electrical updates. The detached kitchen/bonus room offers multiple strategies: finish as a vaulted/insulated space, convert to a mudroom/family room and relocate the kitchen, or explore ADU/efficiency potential (separate heat source required; woodstove included). Barn needs gutters and added support.
With the right improvements, the property may support a resale in the $400K+ range (buyer to perform due diligence on ARV, comps, and permitting).
Financing: Cash or rehab loan only.
Condition: Sold as-is; seller will not make repairs. Review the property disclosure for full details.
