About this home
Beautifully maintained and thoughtfully updated, this Colonial is set on 1.84 acres in Highland Ridge, an established wooded neighborhood convenient to scenic lakes and ponds, hiking trails, Nippo Lake Golf Club, and shopping in every direction. Barrington offers a peaceful rural setting just west of Dover, with easy access to UNH, Portsmouth, the Seacoast, and routes north. The formal front of the home makes a striking first impression, but the backyard may make you never want to leave! Gorgeous hardscaping and carefully tended perennial gardens create a private outdoor retreat. The well-equipped gazebo features electricity, a ceiling fan, cable outlet, screens, and a three-season enclosure, while the 12' x 16' shed provides valuable additional storage. Inside, the sellers’ meticulous care over eight years is evident throughout. Much of the main level has been professionally painted, and hardwood flooring has been added both upstairs and downstairs. The inviting family room is warmed by a gas fireplace, while the dedicated dining room can be styled as formally or casually as desired. A generous eat-in kitchen offers tile flooring, stainless-steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, a pantry, and a center island topped with quartz. The convenient laundry and half bath are just steps away. A separate flex room, currently used as an office, completes the main level. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite includes a private full bath. Two additional generously sized bedrooms share a second full bath. Back out to the ground level, you'll appreciate the level, newly sealed driveway. The oversized two-car garage opens to the basement with plenty of room for storage, hobbies, and projects. Central air conditioning, multizone forced-hot-water heat, and a standby generator provide year-round comfort and peace of mind. Showings begin at the Open House on Friday, August 14, from 4–6 PM. OH Sat 10 AM–12 PM & Sun 1–3 PM.
If quality, wonderfully updated condition and a convenient location within a country neighborhood appeal then this is a home you'll not want to miss! As you approach you'll come upon a beautifully landscaped scene showcasing this stately Colonial. The long-time owners have taken meticulous care of the property tastefully updating well beyond the norm. As you enter along the elegantly crafted walkway & under the stately portico you'll be suitably impressed by a hardwood adorned foyer, formal dining room, elegant living room & large nicely equipped kitchen with Corian, island & size-able dinette area then leading to a wonderful cathedral'd, fireplace'd, gathering room! On the 2nd floor you'll find a main bath, 2 generously sized bedrooms with nice closet space and a large master suite w/ tiled bath and walk-in closet! To the rear of the home you'll be sitting upon your over-sized deck gazing out onto a picturesque rear yard, suitable for many outdoor activities, w/ designer patio & a gazebo complete with cable, electricity, screens & 3 season enclosure. You'll also be able to store all your toys in the 12' x 16' storage shed! Central air conditioning & a standby generator complete this generous home package! The neighborhood loop, off the beaten path, is great for walking & biking alike. The location is convenient to local shopping, schools, Dover, Pease Trade Port & Rte's 16 or I-95. Enjoy all the amenities of Portsmouth & the Seacoast, just 15 or 20 minutes from home.
