89 Bunker Hill Street
Lancaster, NH 03584

Set on Lancaster’s sought-after Bunker Hill Street, this Queen Anne Eastlake Victorian, an original George F. Barber design built 1890 for local merchant Elijah Blood, stands as one of New Hampshire’s most significant historic homes. Identified in New Hampshire Architecture Illustrated Guide by Bryant F. Tolles Jr. as “perhaps New Hampshire’s finest surviving example of the Eastlake style” and featured in Kenneth Naversen’s East Coast Victorians, it remains a beautifully preserved testament to late-19th-century craftsmanship. The exterior displays the full charm of the Eastlake tradition, with delicate brackets, turned balusters, graceful columns, curved veranda braces, ornate railings, and airy spindle-work friezes. Inside, the home retains remarkable historic character: hardwood floors, rich woodwork, and an extraordinary hand-papered dining room ceiling. The layout includes a formal parlor, proper dining room, fireplaced sitting room, three bedrooms, and a thoughtfully updated kitchen and baths that blend modern comfort with historic appeal. Despite its architectural pedigree, the home is valued for its warmth and comfortable living. Wraparound porches stretch across the front and sweep along the side and rear, offering inviting spaces for morning coffee, evening relaxation, or quiet bird watching. The .45-acre lot adds beauty and practicality, with landscaped stonework, a classic carriage house, two-car garage, walk-out basement, and a spacious fenced backyard ideal for children, pets, gardening, or peaceful outdoor enjoyment. From the front porch, it’s steps to the Heritage Trail for woodland hikes, and easy walk to the library, historic movie theatre, shops, restaurants, cafés, and markets. With its architectural significance, preserved character, and welcoming setting, this home offers an exceptional opportunity for the discerning Buyer.
