Definitely not a cookie-cutter home, with two stunning wood fireplaces
Built by and owned by the same family since 1965, this unique home is readly to be lived in and loved by someone new.
You're just around the corner from the Flint Hill Town Conservation Area and short drive to Pawtuckaway State Park, but with a third of an acre lot you have plenty of room in your back yard for outdoor fun. You're also just around the corner from the famous Tuckaway Tavern and Butcher Shop!
Step through the front door and you have the living room on the left (more on that in a minute) and the dining area to the right, with classic built-in cabinets where you can display your collection of retro Fiesta ware or pint glasses from every brewery you've visited.
While you'll probably want to do some cosmetic updates to add your own stamp and style, the bones of this home are very solid.
The kitchen is large enough for a couple of cooks to work their magic without bumping elbows, and the countertops have a great midcentury look!
On the other side of the house, the living room has one of the two fantastic wood fireplaces and a bank of windows that looks across the street at forested town land.
At the rear of the house, just off the kitchen, there's a bedroom with a pocket door leading to the kitchen, the basement, or the back door. This would make a great office, as well.
Between the first bedroom and the others you'll find the full bathroom, and a cedar closet in the hallway.
The second bedroom, at the rear of the house, is the largest, and includes a double closet.
Third bedroom
Head down to the basement and you'll see where the fun begins. There's wide open space, as well as a small room with a sink that used to serve as a party kitchen (the family would come home from the Rockingham Ballroom and continue their dance parties here in front of the fireplace).
And what a fireplace it is! Built by an Italian stonemason who was a friend of the family, it's definitely the centerpiece of the space.
That kitchen area still has room for a refrigerator and an electric stove if you want to bring it back to life.
Behind the fireplace you'll find the "working" basement with the oil-fired boiler, a wood stove, the laundry area, and direct access to the garage.
There's also a three-quarter bathroom here, which could probably do with a refresh, but is a welcome addition to this level.
The garage is nice and deep and can accommodate shelving or a workbench at the rear.
With a little vision and elbow grease, this home can be given new life and be a place where you can start your own new life!
