Positively love where you live! At the end of an exceptional cul de sac, on a rare double lot, abutting Racebrook Tract, this updated, Dutch colonial, exudes charm inside and out. The cozy 1,626 square foot floor plan offers seven rooms, all with gleaming hardwood floors, including three generous bedrooms, plus a main-level office/guest room, and has one and a half bathrooms. Enter from the front vestibule or side mudroom which connects the two-car garage to the updated, eat-in kitchen with granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances. Handsome period features, circa 1941, include a built-in hutch in the formal dining room and a stone hearth and surround on the gas-insert fireplace in the front-to-back living room. Three bedrooms comprise the upper level as well as a remodeled bathroom with both a tub and tile shower. Ample storage can be found throughout the home between the walk-up attic and full basement, each with a cedar closet, and in the attached shed/work shop at the rear of the garage. Highlights include a whole house fan, municipal water, and septic, roof, and siding all replaced in the last five years. Delight in both the sociable side of this neighborhood as well as the serenity of the private, nearly one-acre property. And enjoy it all from the superb screened porch, overlooking the open and level yard, bordered by 230 acres of town-owned woods. All this and in a remarkably convenient location to major routes, shopping, and the Paugusset Club too!
