Location, location, location…. That’s what they say is the most important thing to consider when you buy a home. That stands true here. Just outside the city limits of Concord, our state capital, this homestead is convenient to everything, dining, shopping, Concord Hospital and all other medical services as well as I-89 and I-93, yet it is a secluded oasis on a stunningly beautiful parcel of land.
Entering the property along a birch-lined driveway, this 1976 reproduction cape, which was modeled after the Richard Jackson house in Portsmouth, has been lovingly maintained and updated throughout its years with pride of ownership evident throughout. Casually, as you approach the house via a brick walkway, step up onto the porch. From here, enter a large family room with its focal point being the large brick Rumford fireplace with pot crane. This room boasts wood plank walls and ceiling giving it its warm and rustic charm. In this room especially, but throughout the home, you’ll notice the hand-made custom interior doors with custom wood hinges and latches.
Stepping into the main house, you will find the open concept kitchen and living room. The living room features yet another large brick fireplace, wide pine floors, exposed beams and additional features such as the custom leaded glass windows imported from Germany. The kitchen was renovated in 2011 with stainless appliances and new windows. The freestanding butcher block work island makes adds extra prep space and can double as a place to eat on the run. There is also a built-in desk where you can supervise homework. Adjacent to the kitchen is the dining room or use it as another formal sitting room. Enjoy a third fireplace, wood plank walls and wide pine floors. There is a powder room for guests, as well. Upstairs there are two bedrooms and a shared full bath.
A west wing with a Dutch door entrance opens into an in-law or large master suite, depending on what you need. There is a kitchenette, bedroom, three-quarter bath and large living area. If an in-law set up isn’t needed, it could be transformed into a wonderful first-floor master suite. Need more? How about a spacious home office or studio with 9’ ceiling above the heated garage. If you don’t need the office space use it for storage, an exercise room or for your favorite hobby.
