About This Home

As of March 2023

Welcome to this Charming Exeter home. You will need to see this one for yourself. 5 Bedrooms and 2 and a half bathrooms with room to grow.

To the right you have the dining room with built-in corner cabinet. To the left you have a bonus room with coffered ceilings and french doors. It could be a great office, playroom, reading nook, or whatever you'd like. As we walk further into the home you step into the Kitchen/Family Room area. The entertainment/book units and wall mount will remain. Cozi up with the natural gas fireplace. Enjoy the live edge custom bar that seats four. In the kitchen you have newer appliances and a beautiful kitchen island. Laundry and half bathroom are right off the kitchen but that is not all. The owner's suite with tons of natural light and space is also located on the main living area of this home. The carpet and paint is all newly done for you to move right in. Enjoy the walk-in closet and large newly remodeled bathroom. The large deck will be great for warmer weather entertaining or just enjoying being outside.

In the lower level you will find a nearly finished area just waiting for your finishing touches. There is a beautiful gas fireplace, a bar, built-in Bose stereo system and speakers, a bathroom that just needs the Saniflo toilet installed as well as tons of room for storage. From here you enter the oversized two car garage. Lots of cabinets for all of your tools and plenty of room to park two cars.
