About this home
OPEN HOUSES ARE CANCELLED! Step into one of Manchester’s original homesteads — a beautifully restored 1860 New England classic blending historic charm with today’s modern conveniences. Once part of a farmstead stretching from Elm Street to the Merrimack River, this home has been thoughtfully renewed with custom cabinetry throughout, plantation shutters, state-of-the-art communications and security systems, and modern comfort for contemporary living. Set back on one of the largest private lots in the North End, the property offers peaceful privacy amid mature trees and perennial gardens. Inside, warm and inviting spaces flow easily between formal and casual living areas. Just outside your custom chef’s kitchen enjoy a morning coffee on the private deck. Relax on the classic covered porch, at days end, with gentle river breezes, or host friends on the patio and lawn. The primary bedroom features a gorgeous walk in closet and Italian design inspired bathroom. The walk-up attic features a charming finished space providing the perfect creative, play or storage area. A heated garage space has been used as a workshop. Low-maintenance landscaping surrounds the home, offering sunny and shaded retreats from dawn to sunset over the River. Just moments away, Stark Park invites strolls, concerts, and community gatherings, all part of the North End’s timeless appeal. This is more than a home, it’s a piece of Manchester’s history, ready for its next chapter.
