1959 Cape on 2.13 acres near the hospital and will views of the Presidentials, Cherry and Starr King from the structure and lot. Offers 4 sizeable bedrooms, 1.5 baths, large eat-in kitchen with hearth, a large living room with view and fireplace, 2 bedrooms on main floor and 2 on the second. There is a one car garage. The rear portion of the roof needs to be replaced, and there is standing water in the basement which can be corrected with professional help. The garage floor needs to be corrected after frost heaved and broke the floor, the rear deck and front need work, possible replacement. The lot is wet, which contributes to the basement issues and spring weather brings wet conditions to the yard. The roof would do well with some gutters. Yet, it is sound and improvements will benefit use and value.

1959 Cape on 2.13 acres a short walk to the Hospital, near town but a rural setting with views of Mt. Washington, Starr King, Cherry and more. The house needs work with a new roof on the rear portion of the house, and there is standing water in the basement which can be corrected professionally. The one car garage needs work to remove a cement floor hazard, and both front and rear decks/porches need to be strengthened or replaced. Some shingled siding needs replacement, the house will need to be painted and the electrical service and wiring will need to be upgraded for modern demands. Yet, the property is lovely with a large eat-in kitchen with hearth, a large living room with fireplace, 4 bedrooms (2 up, 2 d0wn), 1.5 baths with ability to add a shower upstairs for a 3/4. It can be an efficient and manageable family home in a great location with good structural components and with work can improve both comfort and value.
