Welcome to paradise! If you love gardening, birds, and wildlife, watching storms and snow blanket the landscape, sledding parties and pumpkin rolls, and yearn for a bucolic setting without being too far from civilization, this is the home for you. Set on 3 open, sunny acres featuring garden and compost beds, blueberry bushes, pear tree, and plenty of flowers, the lot also abuts 118 combined acres of town or conservation land at the rear. And the home is definitely set up to enjoy that view, either around the fire pit in the yard, from the wonderful screen porch or deck out back, or (if it's chilly out) from the vaulted-ceiling breezeway with a view through the slider and a propane stove to keep you toasty warm. Speaking of warm, the natural tones of the wide pine floors and wainscoting in the living room provide a real "welcome home" feeling, while the lighter colors in the kitchen and garden window add brightness. The large first-floor bedroom is a welcome feature, as is the separate office, and the second floor offers two large bedrooms (the primary featuring two closets) and a three-quarter bath. When you've had enough of natural tranquility, you can raise a ruckus in the finished basement--a great place for game nights, Super Bowl parties, or workouts. The front granite steps are from the original farmhouse that stood here years ago, so you have a solid connection to the land's past; and from a practical standpoint the home has been very well-maintained and includes some welcome systems: radon water mitigation and softener, a new bulkhead, trex decking, Pex plumbing, a generator hook-up, irrigation, etc.. If you follow Stinson Road to the northeast you'll come to a picturesque beaver pond, and to the south you're just a few minutes from Sully's market and all the amenities of Goffstown's quaint downtown--the best of both worlds! Come experience the home and setting for yourself! OPEN HOUSES: Sat., 6/20, 1-3pm, Sun, 6/21, 11am-1pm.
