One of Wolfeboro’s most distinctive buildings sits proudly on South Main Street, right in the heart of town.

Currently zoned commercial, the property allows for a variety of residential uses with appropriate approvals—single-family, duplex, multi-family, ADU, B&B, in-home daycare, dormitory, or even a private museum. With both interior and exterior access to the second floor—including a separate entrance via exterior staircase—it’s easy to envision two distinct living spaces for multigenerational use or long-/short-term rental income. The first floor was renovated in 2019 with bright, open spaces, while the upper level retains its original charm and awaits your vision. Outside, enjoy mature trees, ample parking, and endless potential. 217 South Main isn’t just a home—it’s a legacy waiting to be lived in. Read Less
