Best of Both Worlds, Kensington
$449,900



Please note that the AERIAL VIEW provided by Google Maps does not pinpoint the correct property.  Move the photo diagonally down and left.  See house on south side that appears diagonal to the road w/a long driveway to its left that opens to a large rectangle. The aerial was apparently updated when the barn area was new.  

Located in the wonderful community of Kensington, enjoy an easy drive to most major employment areas from here.  Convenient to eastern MA and the north shore, to Boston, to New Hampshire's seacoast and Manchester, it is the ideal place to live due to its rural character and exceptional commuter location.  Kensington abuts the historic town of Exeter and is just north of Amesbury, MA.  Check the schools here.

This saltbox colonial was built in 1987 and has had great care with many updated features along the way.  With a new roof in 2006, the present owners have done much to make this home even more spacious by adding two large rooms and a new 3/4 bath in the walkout lower level. This space lends itself to a guest suite, home office set-up, rec room or all three!  New tile has been installed in the kitchen, powder room and the main 2nd floor bath.  Granite countertops and backsplash were added  to the cabinets and island in the kitchen.  A full list of improvements and updates is available.

The first floor is attractive and sunny with oversized windows, hardwood floors and a two-story front foyer.  Enjoy the brick fireplace in the family room on chilly evenings.  A sunroom, accessed by sliders from the breaskfast area, adds additional living space.

Upstairs are three very generous bedrooms, and two baths.  Closets are plentiful and the hallway is light and bright.

An attached two car garage and a rear deck for the BBQ complete this home's "people" amenities.

The Land and Barn

• Enjoy 5.238 acres with about 2 acres usable for horses or other animals
• Easy-care yard with nice lawn, shrubs and fruit trees
• Lots of wildlife and birds
• 24' x 24' barn was built in 2000 and has a frost-free hydrant and electricity
• Enjoy a tack room, 2 - 2'x12' in/out stalls and a large work aisle for tacking and grooming

The area is a wonderful mix of older and newer homes and farms, all with a bit of elbow room.  This is definitely one of southeastern New Hampshire's prettiest areas.  Come take a look.  Owners are headed to Minnesota!
