A classic 4-bedroom Gambrel just steps to Derryfield Park
Welcome home to this classic home on Manchester's northeast side. One might call this the recreation side of town, because this home is located just a couple doors down from the wide open space and ball fields at Derryfield Park, just around the corner from the 18 holes of Derrryfield Country Club, and a short jaunt away from McIntyre Ski Area (see below).
You'd never know it from the street, but because the house sits forward on the lot, you get a surprisingly large back yard to run around in--or get started on your vegetable garden in time for a mini-harvest in the Fall.
If you're feeling neighborly, you can hang out on your front porch, shout greetings to passers-by, and enjoy a cooling breeze while the screens keep any bugs at bay.
Step through the front door and you'll immediately be charmed. The house has some period touches, like beautiful natural woodwork and some gothic-style vent covers, as well as nice hardwood floors, but it has also seen some great updates, like a brand new 200-amp electrical panel and all new wiring, and newer, energy efficient windows.
The living room is graced by a gas fireplace (which needs one minor repair), and here is where you'll first see the oversized windows that bring in so much light!
The living room leads into an especially large dining room, which is typical of the period. Since you have an informal dining area in another room, could use this large space as a grand but cozy family room.
The kitchen features granite counters and stainless appliances, plus a window looking out toward the back yard and sunsets.
Adjoining the kitchen is that informal dining area I mentioned, which has a double closet and second, smaller closet for either coats or to use as a pantry. And there's a side entrance from the covered side porch off the driveway.
Just beyond the kitchen there's a convenient three-quarter bathroom.
Head upstairs and you'll find the four bedrooms, all with high ceilings Iand ceiling fans) and each with its own character.
First bedroom (with a deep closet):
Second bedroom:
Third bedroom:
Fourth bedroom:
From the second-floor landing you have pull-down access to the spacious attic, which has a framed-out room with shelving and closet rods, making storage and staying organized easy.
The basement is neat and tidy, and features a workbench and direct access to the back yard. And the washer and dryer come with the house!
Derryfield Park, just a short 3-block walk away, is one of the great open spaces in the city and, as everyone knows, one of the best places to watch the sunset or catch the fireworks on the Fourth of July. There are also tennis courts, a playground, and various ball fields available. You're also just a short jaunt to McIntyre Ski Area right in town.
Just around the corner you'll also find the Derryfield Country Club, an 18-hole golf course that includes the Derryfield Golf Shop as well as three indoor golf simulators, not to mention The Derryfield Restaurant & Lounge, a full service restaurant and bar. The course is also groomed for cross-country skiing in the winter.
This home is also very close to McDonough Elementary School, Hillside Middle School, and Trinity High School (a private high school), and of course, very close to Jerome's Deli, a neighborhood favorite, as well as exit 8 on Interstate 93 for easy commuting.
