Surrounded by mature plantings, lush gardens, and a bounty of fruit trees, the flat, level lot is a gardener's dream, perfect for those seeking tranquility and space to cultivate. The home itself has been lovingly rebuilt and updated since 2017, including a modern kitchen and upgraded utilities, ensuring comfort and ease of maintenance. A newer wood stove is the centerpiece for the light filled living/kitchen/dining area. The basement is prepped to be finished, doubling the home's square footage with high ceilings and hopper windows. Step onto the back deck each morning to savor your mornings while soaking in the sights and sounds of New England's natural beauty, songbirds, deer, and more are frequent visitors. The detached 2 car garage is currently used as a carpenter's workshop and offers additional space for storage. The rear half of the lot gently rises, providing a unique opportunity to build an additional dwelling with sweeping views. Bordering the preserved lands and historic artist community of the Cornish Colony, this special property connects directly to miles of scenic trails and protected open space. This is more than a home, it's a peaceful country retreat with room to grow and a legacy of care. Located just a short drive from Upper Valley amenities, Hanover, Lebanon, Dartmouth College and DHMC.
