Every now and then a property comes along that catches the eye, not only online but as you drive by. This is one of them. A local landmark located only minutes from Manchester, yet set on a sprawling 9 acre lot, the brick, stone & shingle country home has always been the envy of the area. With 600' of road frontage, a paved circular drive, expansive lawns, mature shade trees and shrubbery, the site abuts 143 undeveloped acres to the rear and is a short walk to the public shore of Lake Massabesic and its yacht club.
Originally built in 1848, the New Englander-style lines are still evident, although the home has been substantially added to and renovated over the years. The house enjoys large rooms designed for entertaining, 2 full, a three-quarter and a half bath, a lovely four-season sunroom, 3 fireplaces and a charming, unique brick room in the ell, perfect as a game room or pub. With about 4,700 s/f of space in the main house, there are two updated heating systems (2002 & 2008) and a new roof over the entire structure in 2003.
The bonus here is a very spacious apartment over a portion of the barn that is about 1,600 s/f of wonderful living space! With two large bedrooms and two tiled baths, the kitchen has new appliances and countertops, there are new carpets and paint, new bath fixtures, a private deck, a small garage and plenty of storage. Each bedroom has a balcony and, if needed, the unit could be expanded further into an unused 2nd floor in the barn. The layout is perfect for an extended family arrangement, a generous au pair unit or caretaker's quarters.
An attached barn includes two front garage bays, a workshop and plenty of storage for the collector or hobbyist. Many original features are intact, such as the draft horse stalls reminiscent of the days when coaches were horse drawn. A loft, accessed by an outside hay door now, could easily be converted to additional usable space. Two pony stalls were added some years ago to another section of the barn. There are outbuildings, as well. A charming gazebo, a summer building that was once a pool cabana, a small studio with a heater and electricity and another two bay storage building dot the grounds.
Located along a well-traveled road, 10 minutes or so from the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, this property is residentially zoned but would also make a wonderful, high-end business property with proper approvals. An owner might live in the fabulous apartment and perhaps run an elegant B&B or other upscale endeavor in the main house. Come see the possibilities.
