About This Home

Make this classic north side New Englander YOUR home and you'll be just 3 blocks from Derryfield Park, with recreation and open air at your fingertips, as well as the best spot in town for sunset-watching. Step inside and you'll immediately see the period details that give the home its charm--nice maple floors, bulls-eye moulding, and a carved newell post at the stairs (there are even French doors in the basement that go to the living room). A large bay window lets in plenty of light in the roomy living room, and the dining room includes built-ins and a pass-through to the secondary kitchen. The main kitchen area includes a rolling island, as well as updated cabinets and granite counters, and all the appliances are just a few years old. Just off the kitchen coming in from the driveway there's a convenient mudroom. Upstairs two of the three bedrooms, the hall, and 3/4 bath have pine floors that add a welcoming warmth; and more built-ins and a grand attic with slide-down stairs answers any storage questions you may have. The back yard is surprisingly large and accessible from the walk-out basement, so gardening supplies are easy to get in and out. There's a nice mix of sun & shade back there for laying out or hanging out--or if you're the sociable type, sit on the front porch and wave at your neighbors and their dogs! Best of all, the current owner built a fantastic heated, 25' x 15' "shed" on a concrete foundation in the backyard, so if you want a wood shop, artist studio, band practice space or magical He/She Shed, you've got it! It was designed and sized to also serve as a garage, if you cared to extend the driveway. With the great location and its historical style, you won't want to miss this one!
