About This Home

As of December 2014

A charming rambling country home with great space. Many updates w/newer windows, metal standing seam roof ... Wonderful renovated kitchen w/ maple cabinets, tiger maple trim & newer appliances. Pretty maple flooring in this open concept area runs thru to living room. There is a spacious dining room, plus additional room useful for den/office space. Plenty of closets, nooks & crannies. You will appreciate the first floor laundry. Upstairs offers 3 bedrooms & an updated full bath. Charming 2nd floor foyer w/pine wood walls (inviting space for many uses). Spend warm summer months on the spacious 27 ft. enclosed porch overlooking the delightful backyard w/view to open meadow area. A quiet location offering 5.8 acres (great spot to add a barn & bring your animals) & just 10 minutes to downtown Concord for quick access to shopping, major highways. There is also a newer 2 car detached garage - great for those snowy winter days ahead. A lovely home located on a dead end street.
