Today, this expanded and renovated home offers a unique lifestyle. The front living room exudes warmth with original hardwood floors, shiplap walls, windows with paneled shutters and a dramatic brick hearthā€¦a cozy spot to curl up with that book you just canā€™t put down! A modern, open-concept kitchen and dining area is where family and friends gather to enjoy quality time and home-cooked meals. Youā€™ll fall in love with the south-facing family room and its brick floor, vaulted ceiling and wall of glass overlooking a private deck and vast sea of green lawn stretching toward the woods. One of its greatest surprises is a 1st floor master suite! Sleep soundly in this quiet space and wake to views of wildlife passing through the 1.7-acre yardā€¦enjoy the convenience of a walk-in closet and bathroom with grotto-style shower. On the other side of the house are two extra bedroomsā€¦one with a wood-burning fireplace, the other with a small reading loft. Beyond the mudroom, above the garage, thereā€™s soaring, rustic space loaded with potential...with some TLC, it would be a great recreation room, art studio or home office...or even an apartment (town approval needed). Less than 1 mile from the ocean...less than 3 from Portsmouth! Under contract with home sale contingency and 72-hour kick-out clause
