The home

About this home

Exit I-93 into Franconia; you’ll sense a slower pace and admire Franconia Notch as it sits boldly to the South, looking over the Village and The Dow Community Park/Field where people gather for community events. Imagine turnkey ease for skiing, hiking & breathing the fresh mountain air! This is a 2nd-floor unit, 2 bedrooms, 1 3/4 bath. Tall coffered ceilings make for a feeling of larger space, with oversized windows allowing for great daylight. Newly updated and move-in ready, with fresh paint, new appliances, custom blinds, and flooring. You'll enjoy the view of the Cannon Balls, the community Church, and the unit floods with daylight! There is a common laundry, and this unit also has a carport for seven more years; they are issued by lottery. Additional storage is in a separate building, offering each unit approximately 6 x 10 area. Enjoy the weekend skiing at Cannon or nearby Bretton Woods or hiking the "Whites"; you’ll arrive back at work on Monday refreshed & eager for the work week, knowing that in a few days you’ll repeat it all over again! Ownership is comprised of a nice mix, primary and vacation homeowners both, all share the carefree and ease of living here. The Dow, built in 1906, was originally part of Franconia's high school until 1958. Between 1963 & 1977, Dow Academy was part of Franconia College, the lower campus to that in Forest Hills. Here it housed faculty for the various departments of the college, and the sign on each door denotes its past department. Franconia College was known for its progressive, alternative higher education. The building has been listed in the National Register of Historic Places & converted into condos & townhomes totaling 16 units, and the town clock sits handsomely atop, ringing on the hour! Village living, outdoor recreation that surrounds you, including easy access to trails, river, brewery, library, ice cream, and a warm community of folks! Cats are allowed, dogs by board approval only.
