Property Description
Prime Location. Iconic Octagonal Structure. Endless Potential. Located on South Main Street in the heart of Wolfeboro—between Huggins Hospital and Brewster Academy—this highly visible commercial property offers a rare opportunity to own one of New Hampshire's most distinctive buildings. Formerly used as a church, the 1870 octagonal house (one of only five in the state) has been under the same ownership for nearly a century and is now ready for its next chapter. Set on a corner lot with ample parking and excellent street frontage, the property includes a beautifully renovated first floor (completed in 2019), offering bright, open spaces well-suited for a variety of professional uses. The structure also includes an attached ell and a former carriage barn—converted into a cozy library/reading room on the main level, with a spacious, open second floor offering additional functional space. Upstairs in the original octagon and ell, the space remains virtually untouched since 1939—providing a unique opportunity for restoration or redesign to suit your needs. Zoned commercial, this property is ideal for professional offices such as legal, financial, wellness, or healthcare services, and could also serve as boutique retail, a creative studio, or an inspired living/working setup (with appropriate approvals). Whether you're drawn by the location, the visibility, or the history—this property invites bold vision and inspired use.
