Welcome to 28 Horton Road-a beautifully updated Cape offering an inviting open layout, stylish finishes, and exceptional outdoor space. The main level showcases gleaming hardwood floors and a spacious living area with newer windows and a sliding glass door that opens to a vinyl deck. At the heart of the home is a thoughtfully renovated kitchen featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, modern lighting, a large center island, and a separate bar area-perfect for everyday living and entertaining. The main-level primary suite offers convenient one-floor living and includes a generous walk-in closet and private full bath. Two additional bedrooms complete the upper level. Central air and wiring for a generator add year-round comfort and peace of mind. Mechanical improvements include an 80-gallon hybrid water heater installed in 2023 and an oil tank replaced in 2020. Outside, the professionally landscaped, level backyard creates a private retreat for relaxing, gardening, or gathering with friends. Vinyl fencing, a storage shed, fire pit, mature plantings, and the deck complete this impressive outdoor setting. Tucked into a quiet residential pocket, the home is just minutes from Buckland Hills, Evergreen Walk, and downtown Manchester, offering convenient access to an abundance of shopping and dining options. With its appealing combination of character, thoughtful improvements, and move-in-ready condition, this is one you won't want to miss.
Waddell, located between Center Springs Park and Downtown Manchester, is a residential and civic Manchester neighborhood with leafy side streets and a strong parks-and-schools backbone. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Center Street and Middle Turnpike East corridor, where small storefronts, everyday services, and steady traffic set a practical, lived-in tone. Nearby anchors like the Lutz Children’s Museum, Cheney Hall, and the Manchester Historical Society help define local culture beyond the block. Housing reads as classic New England—capelike singles, tidy colonials, and mid-century splits—set on modest lots with mature trees. Trails and playing fields at Center Springs Park shape daily routines, while Main Street’s theaters and eateries sit a short drive away. The geography feels connected by walkable pockets, with I-384 close enough to keep regional trips straightforward.
