About This Home

New 4-bedroom home with 1st floor ADU (Accessory dwelling unit).Rare new construction in-town walking distance to the Oyster River Schools and the campus of the University of NH. As you access the newly constructed home from the two-car garage, you enter into an open concept kitchen/living room. The sleek kitchen features quartz counters, an 8-foot island, stainless steel appliances, tile backsplash, gas range with exhaust-out chimney hood, and a drawer microwave, all state of the art. Walk out the patio door to your 16x16 composite deck with aluminum railings, and gas-ready grill connection. The living room is adorned with a modern electric fireplace. Hardwood flooring throughout with tiled floors in bathrooms and laundry room. On the second floor enter the private, expansive primary suite with two super-sized closets ready for you to customize, and a bath with his and hers vanities. The other three bedrooms and two baths are all generously sized. Past the second bath you enter the quaint and cozy bonus rooms. Imagine the use as office, guest quarters, craft space or storage. Need more storage? The basement has a finished ceiling and could be much more than just storage. Envision an at-home gym, a family room, with pool table or a gaming area. This home has well-thought out electrical amenities: switched outlets, ceiling fan ready, generator and EV charger ready. The original 1716 Garrison House of Captain Jonathan Chesley, now a ground-level apartment, retains original features and can be accessed from the main home, or kept fully separate via its own entry and parking. Both the new home and the fully renovated historical home have central air HVAC systems and prime energy star-level insulation, windows, and top quality functional features. The apartment has been refurbished in every way, electrical, plumbing, heating, and new kitchen appliances, but retains beams, non-functioning fireplaces, gunstock corners and charming built-ins.
