About This Home
As of December 2020This is a rare opportunity to live on the banks of the beautiful Piscataqua River! To enjoy the ever-changing water views...from the modest sailboats bobbing on their moorings to the huge tankers being escorted up-river by the bright red tugs. Many properties say they have it all...but this one truly does! It offers one of New Castle's finest homes - a stunning and meticulous cape, sited on a beautifully landscaped lot with 145' of direct water frontage and a deep-water dock. It was carefully designed to insure that most every room has expansive water views with walls of windows to frame the sights. The open-concept floorplan works beautifully for active families looking to spread out, and just as well for empty-nesters looking for easy one-floor living with extra space for an office, exercise space and visitors. And entertaining is a pleasure with the huge Chef's kitchen anchored by a 14' center island, top of the line appliances and a casual fireplaced dining area. Custom cabinetry abounds with many built-in window seats just begging for someone to stop for a while, curl up and watch the river go by. French doors open to the waterside yard, a gracious retreat with a large stone terrace, waterside firepit, stone steps to a small sandy beach and a commercial grade deep water dock. This is a truly unique and special property - bring your boat, your family and friends to begin living the coveted island life in tax friendly New Castle.
