Just a few blocks from downtown Exeter and the Academy. This bright, antique Federal-Georgian in the heart of the historic district charms with period touches and tasteful recent renovations. An open plan kitchen/family room, featuring soapstone counters, subway tile, and stainless appliances integrates graciously with the home’s 6 fireplaces, wide pine floors, original architectural details and woodwork, granite steps, reclaimed brick, and carefully chosen finishes. The generous floorplan offers superb flow among 2 sitting rooms, 2 offices/libraries, dining room, kitchen, mudroom, and 3 spacious bedrooms. A late-19th c. front porch and a huge, established perennial garden in the backyard with abundant winter interest creates a private oasis in the middle of town. The exceptionally large backyard is fully enclosed with a 6ft cedar fence. Radiant heat and a soaking tub enhance an enormous upstairs bath, while a full bath downstairs makes converting an existing sitting room into a 4th bedroom simple. The 2 front bedrooms share a small but elegant full Jack and Jill bath. Cleverly designed cabinets and deep, shelved closets provide ample storage throughout. Modern conveniences include zoned forced air via natural gas, central AC, extra large hot water tank, upstairs laundry room with front loading washer. Bonus features add 2 car garage, extensive off-street parking, garden shed, a private well for watering and finished walkup attic ideal for den/sleeping loft or playroom.
