With views of rolling fields of grass, strawberries, fruit trees, and beyond to acres of conservation land, this home has a history all its own. In 1968 it was moved to its then brand new poured foundation and it retains to this day charming, solid features which were valued then. A huge variety of new fruit trees have been planted, grapes are abundant, and a ready spot for vegetables is near the side entry door. The basement has a large door from one of the two driveways for equipment entry and good high-ceilinged storage. The main floor has a spacious living room with fireplace; there's a formal dining room and family room as well as a half bath. Hardwood floors, solid wood doors with glass doorknobs and other original fixtures throughout the home, upstairs as well as down, contribute to the warm and friendly ambiance. Central to all major routes, you'll be near Oyster River Schools, the university, Dover, Portsmouth, and beyond. Showings by appointment only.
