Francestown NH and listing agent for this property, Buddy Pope, the POPE OF REALTY, seem made for one another. As the listing agent I have always had a fondness for older homes, country homes and village homes and Francestown, NH is full of them. Take this listing of mine for example, a village center brick Cape with a lot of sq footage, dramatic interior space, tall ceilings and a load of historical features and period crafsmanship. Comes with a barn and an ell and room for the artist as well...
