About This Home
As of July 2022Once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire a 5 bedroom, 3 bath home in downtown Franconia! This colonial style house has a new roof, a new drilled well pumping 30 gallons a minute of delicious water, and is ready for new occupants! It is located on .83 acres on a dead-end street, with access to all that Franconia has to offer. As you park your car in the 2 car attached garage, enter into a large den/sitting room with beautiful stone fireplace. Move on into the kitchen, passing a full bath as you do. The kitchen is spacious and opens to the dining room and main living room with a gas fireplace for ambiance and comfort. With 2 large picture windows and French doors, there is plenty of light! On the 2nd level, there is a large master suite with an extra-large walk-in closet, full bath with whirlpool tub and double sinks. Directly at the top of the stairs is another full bath; turn left and discover 4 bedrooms just off the hallway, and a large linen closet. There is a full basement with large finished and carpeted recreation/entertainment room. There is also a large unfinished area for storage or workshop and an area with 2 tanks of oil that serve the boiler and new hot water storage unit. The front-loading washer and dryer are also located on this level. Franconia is a town that boasts excellent schools, the Franconia Ski Club, and easy access to Cannon Mt. and Mittersill ski areas. There are several inns and restaurants, a market, brewery, hardware store and dance studio to mention a few. This home is an easy walk to town, Lafayette Elementary School, and the Dow Park, which has playing fields, x-country skiing and snow shoeing, and many walking/biking trails along the Gale River and Fox Hill. It is also where outdoor music events take place in summer and views abound everywhere you go!
