It's a special home that's both light & bright, and warm & cozy, all at the same time, but here you have it in Manchester's North End! The fresh paint and recently-refinished hardwood floors throughout provide that dual ambiance, and there's a lovely balance of period touches--dining room built-in, peaked doorway, crown moulding, a retro door lock--and modern updates, such as the blue island which adds pizzazz to the updated kitchen. Serious cooks will appreciate the gas cooktop, and you get to gaze out the window to the back yard as you clean up. The living room is graced with a wood fireplace, and there's an extra room beyond that would be a fantastic office or music room. The primary bedroom has a nice walk-in closet, and the other two bedrooms have generous closets as well. The basement offers another fireplace and lots of space for relaxing or recreating, plus lots of cubbies for storage. But life can't be lived solely indoors, and this home offers a fabulous outdoor oasis as well, with an in-ground heated pool (new filter, pump, & liner), patio for festive gatherings, and lots of run-around yard space (which is kept gorgeously green by the irrigation system), all of which is accessible from the breezeway or the walk-out basement. Just down the road from Livingstone Park, McIntyre ski area, groceries, and schools, the location offers the best of everything. Come fall in love and make it yours for the holidays!
