About This Home

As of August 2018

How does one begin to describe perfection? Does it begin with the setting, the community? Or does it lie in the crisp, clean walls of a home bathed in natural light that exude a welcoming warmth. From the moment you pull into the yard and step onto the brick path, past the lush lawn and plantings, and pass through the fenced gate to the front door, this house has captured your heart. Open space inside-and-out, great window placement, thoughtful storage/closet space, dedicated mud and laundry rooms, home office, four-season room, three fireplaces, and easy flow from room-to-room, floor-to-floor -- this house accommodates all your needs. With a three-car garage, there is plenty of room for your toys. And, the lower level, with daylight windows can be finished for a variety of purposes or used as is. Take a walk or ride your bike to the conservation land at the end of this quiet neighborhood. And while you have escaped to the quiet beauty of Kensington, don't be fooled, it hosts a welcoming, vibrant school and community, is home to Sawyer Park, and is minutes away from downtown Exeter, I-95, and the coast of NH/MA. Come, experience 7 Whipple Way -- this may just be your next home.
