Your next chapter awaits in the picturesque, historic village of Francestown! This well-maintained antique cape from 1813 is 100% move-in ready with countless updates completed in the past several years. The brand-new backyard bluestone patio complete with a built-in grill and fire pit is prepared to host gatherings of family and friends for years to come. Impressive stone work, terraced hardscaping, and a subterranean French drain truly bring this space to the next level. Inside the home, a marvelous sun-drenched eat-in kitchen boasts glistening soapstone countertops and stainless steel appliances. The central, spacious dining/living room with exposed ceiling beams serves as a hub for the recently renovated full bathroom, a south-facing bedroom, and the front hallway leading to an office/living room and the screened-in porch. Imagine spending winter days enjoying delicious meals or curled up on the couch next to a crackling wood stove. A cozy upstairs provides extra office or bedroom space, a half bathroom, comfy window seat, and laundry. Other recent upgrades to the home include spray foam insulation, a water pressure booster, and interior paint throughout. If you would feel the need to expand your living area, take advantage of the two-level attached barn and renovate the interior! Here you are just 40 minutes to Manchester and Concord, 45 minutes to Keene, and 1.5 hours from Boston. OPEN HOUSE Saturday 3/15, 1-4pm
