About This Home

As of September 2025

Walk to town from this immaculately kept 2 1/2 story custom colonial. Lovely stonewalls surround the 1.4 acre private lot which abuts town land and is across from MacDowell Colony - a location often sought but seldom found in Peterborough. Mostly open first floor plan with an abundance of natural light through it's oversized windows. Large second floor master with two walk in closets, full bath and a large Jacuzzi tub. Two other bedrooms, hall bath and a laundry/craft/sewing room complete this level. Third floor is presently used as an office/work out room yet still has plenty of attic storage. Lower level great for media, gaming, or guest space - lots of windows, full bath and a slider to the back yard. Multiple zones of heat enable you to use the space on the third floor and the lower level for many purposes. Oversized attached two car garage has full walk up storage above. This house has it all in a location that is second to none! Come take a look for yourself.
