EXTRAORDINARY and charming describe the magnificent renovation and expansion of this splendid cape-style home in a lovely W. Keene neighborhood. A smartly designed entry leads to a stunning kitchen featuring a huge center island w/sink and quartz top, surrounded by beautiful wood cabinetry, soap stone counters and updated appliances. The open floor plan incorporates a cheerful dining room area on one side and the vaulted family room with contemporary electric fireplace on the other - truly the heart of this home. A polished and beautifully tiled full bath in the hall, and a spacious first floor bedroom with its own sleek bath allow for one floor living. The comfortable living room w/gas stove is a lovely sunlit space at the front of this home. Creative dog shed dormers were added to the second floor to expand the space for two perfectly sized bedrooms and a study/office (or 5th bedroom) served by yet another stunning bathroom. A 2-car garage addition allowed for a spacious mudroom area with two closets, plus the amazing front to back primary suite above with artfully designed nooks, sitting area, and a "designer look" bath with barn door access. The lower level playroom is an added bonus! The 36' deck off the back overlooks the large fenced yard with play area and firepit space. Gleaming maple and tile floors run throughout this truly exceptional home. Showings start on Saturday, March 16th, at the open house from 11 am to 2 pm.
