A wonderful blend of Casual and Elegant in Manchester's North End

From the driveway or garage you come into the entry hall that leads to the kitchen...
...which features granite counters, tile backsplash, a 6-burner stove, soft-close drawers and pull-out shelving, and so many cabinets you'll have to buy extra gadgets to fill them!
The light and bright dining room is accented with a corner built-in where you can display your collection of martini glasses or heirloom water pitchers.
Through the kitchen in the other direction, past the basement stairs, you come into the spacious living room, where a gas fireplace lends a comfortable ambiance and there's room for lots of cushy furniture as well as a piano!

The hardwood floor extend through most of the house, and another built-in creates a second focal point.
A pocket door separates the living room from a nice office featuring built-ins and a bank of west-facing windows, so you can host a Zoom meeting and watch the sunset all at the same time. The current owners also used this as a fourth bedroom on occasion.
Between the office and entry from the driveway there's a convenient three-quarter bathroom.
At the top of the stairs there's a linen closet, and if you look close enough you'll find cubbies, cabinets, and storage spaces everywhere in the home!
The primary bedroom is a good example of the surfeit of storage. There is a walk-in closet, an adjacent sweater/blanket shelf, a second full-size closet, and under-eave storage accessed through that second closet.
The primary bedroom also gets its own three-quarter bathroom.
The second bedroom has a nicer, large closet as well as under-eave storage
Third bedroom
A nicely updated full bath is shared by the two secondary bedrooms
Head down to the basement and you'll see what makes this house shine, with a vast finished area with daylight windows for festive gatherings, Sunday football marathons, and Monopoly/Parcheesi nights, a wood fireplace (not used in a while), and a secret bar (your very own speakeasy!).
From the basement you can walk right out to the screen porch, another great spot for watching sunset or enjoying the results of your backyard grilling.
Even with all the finished space in the basement, there's plenty of unfinished basement for a workbench, laundry, and additional storage.
There is also a huge storage space under the garage, accessible from the finished basement and the screen porch (not pictured on the floor plan above)
You're just a few blocks from Livingstone Park--one of the great open spaces in Manchester--McIntyre Ski Area, schools, groceries, and the highway, so the location is fantastic. You can even walk to the Puritan for Mud Slides and chicken tenders!
If you want to make Manchester home, this is the home for you!
