Here's your chance to own one of the grand Queen Anne homes of Manchester's north side, featuring an uncommonly spacious half-acre lot and as many facets as a diamond. The first facet: the timeless details, like beautiful wood floors, crown moulding and coffered ceilings, wonderful slate roof, gingerbread exterior details, and the largest pocket door I've ever seen! Second, the two covered porches--one out front for greeting neighbors, one at the side for quiet morning coffee--and the expansive patio, all of which provide comfortable outdoor living space. Third, the updates throughout. Those include the gorgeous kitchen, with full-height cabinets, granite counters and coffee station, walk-in pantry, large island, and high-end Viking and Bosch appliances. The eat-in section was expanded with a gas fireplace, double-doors to that amazing patio to connect the indoors to the outdoors, and a casual office area for homework or tracking your 401k. Both bathrooms have been beautifully updated as well, with a laundry area on the first floor just off the kitchen. There are also five mini-split heads for year-round comfort. And the exterior of the home was just painted. I haven't even mentioned the expansive dining room and the living room accented by a wood fireplace (not used recently), or the beautiful design in the wood floors of the 4 bedrooms upstairs. The yard is yet another sparkling facet, with trees for climbing or stringing up hammocks, open sunny area for a veggie garden or lawn games, and attractive landscaping out front to frame the home's beauty. And finally, the storage space--you get a huge walk-up attic with shelving, a dry basement, and copious storage above the newer 2-car garage, so bring all your toys and holiday decorations! This home truly IS a diamond, located about halfway between Derryfield Park and Livingstone Park, so come fall in love for yourself! OPEN HOUSE: Sat. 8/8, 11:30 am - 1:00 pm.
