Welcome to the recreation side of town! This classic, 4-BR Gambrel is located just a couple doors down from the wide open space and ball fields at Derryfield Park, just around the corner from the 18 holes of Derrryfield Country Club, and a short jaunt away from McIntyre Ski Area, not to mention being a mere frisbee toss from the local elementary and middle schools. And it's ready for you to move right in and make it your own! It has some period touches, like beautiful natural woodwork and some gothic-style vent covers, as well as nice hardwood floors, but it has also seen some great updates, like a brand new 200-amp electrical panel and all new wiring, and newer, energy efficient windows. It features a welcoming living room graced by a gas fireplace, and the spacious dining room typical of the period--which, given that you also have an informal dining area, could be turned into a grand but cozy family room if you prefer. The kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, lots of cabinets, and there's a three-quarter bath right there for convenience. The four bedrooms upstairs each have their own character and generous space, and you get easy, pull-down access to the attic for storage to keep things organized. But you don't need to stay inside: there's great screened three-season porch in front, and the house sits forward on the lot so you also have a surprisingly big backyard to run around in (or start a garden).
