Ah, the elusive ranch home! There’s something instantly welcoming about this sweet single-level gem. It offers the kind of comfort and simplicity buyers are always searching for. Step inside and you’ll find an open flow between the living room, dining area and kitchen, with plenty of charm, character and hardwood floors. The kitchen has been updated with abundant cabinetry, sleek black granite and newer appliances, both stylish and highly functional. With two bedrooms, a beautiful bath featuring a tiled walk-in shower and laundry right on the first floor, everything is designed for comfort and ease. Downstairs, the unfinished basement offers plenty of potential, with a fireplace already in place for a future family room or cozy retreat. Out back, a wrap-around deck invites you to linger over morning coffee while looking across the fenced yard and the fields of Murray Farms Greenhouse, where pumpkins grow and wildlife often wanders by. Stroll down to the water’s edge where 200+ feet of Contoocook River frontage opens up endless ways to unwind: canoeing, fishing, swimming or simply relaxing on the patio with a cold drink in hand. A detached one-car garage and standby generator round out the practical details, but it’s the easy lifestyle and the welcoming feel of this ranch that will stay with you.
