About this home

Turnkey, thoughtfully modernized, and built for easy living. This expansive Cape has been transformed with designer neutral tones and brand-new flooring throughout. At the center of the home, an open-concept living room anchored by a classic fireplace flows seamlessly into a custom kitchen crafted for everyday meals and entertaining. A generous bonus room delivers rare versatility—tailor it as an executive home office, media lounge, or dedicated playroom. Three spacious bedrooms and two pristine, newly renovated full baths including a first floor master! Big-ticket updates ensure total turnkey confidence, featuring a roof, high-efficiency windows, an low-maintenance vinyl siding all installed in 2020. Perfectly positioned for convenience, you are just moments from major commuter routes and seconds from tax-free New Hampshire shopping and dining. The seller is willing to offer a $10,000 concession towards the buyers closing cost or towards a rate buy down. Property is ready for a new family!
