First time on the market since being built! Check out this 8+ room, 4 bedroom, 2 bath Cape with an attached, heated 2-car garage, nicely sited on a corner lot. The living room has a picture window and wall-to-wall carpeting over hardwood flooring, while the family room sports a barnboard/beamed ceiling plus barnboard walls, and newer luxury vinyl flooring. The kitchen, with newer vinyl flooring & a double storage closet, has knotty pine wood cabinetry and a separate dining area. The 4th bedroom, a den/office with built-in storage & hardwood flooring, and a full bath complete the main level. The second floor offers a primary bedroom plus 2 other bedrooms, all with good closet space, and a 3/4 bath. The basement has a somewhat finished, heated playroom on one side, and an ample--sized workshop area with a large storage closet and a laundry area on the other side. Besides the driveway leading to the 2-car garage, there is a driveway on the right side of the house for overflow parking. plus a driveway off the left side where they used to keep their motorhome. The nice fenced-in yard offers a screen-house and 2 storage sheds. A big plus is the Generac, 8KW generator that will kick in automatically when/if the electricity goes out. Other amenities include vinyl siding, water to the heated garage, gutters, and attic access through a skuttle in the garage. This home is perfectly livable as-is. However, bring your ideas to reimagine what it could be in the future! You can't beat the location with easy access to the highways, tax-free shopping in NH, and restaurants and stores nearby. This solid home is well-priced in this market, so don't snooze on it or you'll lose it!
