About this home
Built in 1870, this Bow home has the character you expect from an older New England home, along with many of the updates today's buyers are looking for. Inside, you'll find wide plank wood floors, exposed beams and original details mixed with a beautifully updated kitchen featuring two-tone cabinetry, quartz style counters, stainless appliances, recessed lighting and a large center island. The kitchen opens to the dining room, creating a bright and functional space for everyday living and entertaining. The first floor offers a spacious living room, while one of the bedrooms has direct access to a three season sunroom overlooking the backyard, a great spot for morning coffee or relaxing at the end of the day. Upstairs you'll find additional bedrooms and more of the home's original charm. Outside, the property offers a generous yard with mature trees, a detached garage, paved driveway and plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors. With significant improvements already completed while preserving the character that makes an older home special, this is a home that needs to be seen in person.
