Description

Loved by the same family for 50 years, this wonderful home in a park like setting of 7.66 acres is located in a very desirable and convenient neighborhood in Peterborough. The lovely grounds are the perfect mix of stone walkways, private patio, gardens, open lawn, TONS of spring blooming Rhododendrons, and even a small pond. Once inside you will be charmed by the very large front to back living room with beautiful wood paneling surrounding the FP, built in bookcases and French doors to the outside...Loved by the same family for 50 years, this wonderful home in a park like setting of 7.66 acres is located in a very desirable and convenient neighborhood in Peterborough. The lovely grounds are the perfect mix of stone walkways, private patio, gardens, open lawn, TONS of spring blooming Rhododendrons, and even a small pond. Once inside you will be charmed by the very large front to back living room with beautiful wood paneling surrounding the FP, built in bookcases and French doors to the outside patio, a formal dining room, family room w/FP overlooking the grounds, 1st floor guest room w/FP and kitchen with eating bar. Upstairs are 4 additional bedrooms or use one as an office if you prefer. Hardwood floors on both floors, solid wood doors, all the quality you would expect in a house of this era. The attached two car garage offers enormous storage above or finish it for additional living space. Through the years, this home has been admired by many and now you have the opportunity to make it yours. Properties like this are hard to find in any market, but particularly difficult in this market. There is a 2.0 acre lot of record across the street that can be purchased with the house for an additional $85,000. It will not be offered separately at this time.
