About this home
Welcome to 56 Fordway Extension in Derry, New Hampshire. This beautifully remodeled cape sits on a half-acre lot and features a remarkable three-level barn. The home has been extensively updated with new wiring, insulation, lighting, bathroom, floors, windows, walls, ceilings, staircase, barn roof and siding, electric service, fresh paint, newer appliances, and fresh landscaping with river stone accents—all while preserving its original wide pine floors, exposed beams, and timeless historic charm. The brand-new bathroom is a true highlight, thoughtfully designed with style and function, while the updated kitchen blends modern convenience with classic character. With a cinder block foundation, this home has great bones and enduring quality, and it’s connected to town water and sewer for convenience. Additional features include central air for year-round comfort, a cozy pellet stove for efficiency during the colder months, and a spacious yard with a new fence offering plenty of room for gardening, play, or entertaining. Perfectly located near downtown, the highway, Pinkerton Academy, and just minutes to Manchester and Salem, this move-in ready property offers something special for every lifestyle—plus, there’s potential to subdivide. The list agent is an owner. Call Shailyn Harrington Danahy at 978-912-4810 to schedule a private tour. Open House: 8/23, 12–1:30 PM & 8/24, 12–2 PM.
