About this property

Historic Charm with modern amenities in Exeter, NH. 3 Bedrooms & Walk to town

Beautifully renovated 1830 Historic Home in charming Exeter New Hampshire. The famous "Lewis W. Perkins" home is registered in Exeter's historic district and it's location on High Street is a perfect home base for your Exeter adventure. No detail has been spared in this thoughtful update, completed in 2024. A professionally interior designed home, with a brand new kitchen, 3 new bathrooms, plumbing, HVAC and electric make for a perfect stay in this historic revolutionary town.
Exeter is a classic New England town, founded in 1638, over 130 years before the American Revolution. Visit the tavern where George Washington stayed in 1775; visit the site of the Revolutionary War Capital; walk along the Swasey Parkway; shop in the quaint stores and dine at the many fine and casual dining options in town.
In the winter, curl up with a book or watch a movie in the renovated carriage house- now a beautiful library; in fall, drive into the country to see the gorgeous New England foliage colors; and in Spring and Summer enjoy the proximity to beaches, trails and hikes. Or sit outside on the renovated brick patio with a gas grill and shady dining table and chairs.

Peaceful Setting

Beautiful historic home, well maintained. Although the home is large, it feels warm and cozy. Fantastic location that was an easy walk to downtown Exeter where there are great restaurants and cute shops. Easy drives to the ocean, mountains and Boston. After days of hiking, ziplining and even skydiving, it was the perfect peaceful place to relax.

Perfection

We had an amazing 4-night stay at this super charming and tasteful historic home over my son’s graduation weekend from Phillips Exeter Academy. It truly felt like home. The house is kitted out with everything needed. It’s the perfect launching pad to stay when visiting New England or a child at Phillips Exeter Academy. The location is great. Shops and restaurants are a short walk. The Academy is close but you’re not on top of your child. A shout out to the super responsive owner and property manager.

We had a wonderful time in Exeter, and particularly enjoyed this house. Move in instructions were clear and easy to execute once we arrived. The house is beautifully appointed ,and very comfortable with plenty of space to relax in separate spaces inside and out. The beds were very comfortable, and we all slept very well as a result. The kitchen is well stocked with plenty of dishes and silverware, and basic cooking pots and pans. There is a Nespresso machine for coffee, but if regular coffee is preferred there are several coffee shops very nearby. We definitely plan on being repeat renters when back in Exeter!
