Perched on the Nubanusit River, you will enjoy starting and ending your day with the sound and sight of the river and its wildlife -- herons, common merganser ducks, bluebirds in the winter, and beautiful cardinals, bluejays, catbirds, otters and deer. Walking distance to the center of Peterborough, you will find this home tucked back from the road in a private setting. Entering through the spacious screened porch, into the foyer, you will find a sun-filled living room with a vaulted ceiling, views to the river and access to a riverside deck perfect for enjoying wildlife, a great spot for Adirondack chairs, outdoor dining, gathering with friends or reading a good book. The eat-in kitchen has recent updates and allows for great river views. Space for a home office, a den and a bedroom complete the first floor. The primary bedroom and the full, updated bath occupy the second floor. A large storage space is attached to the house along with an exterior shed. Whether this is your primary residence or your getaway, you will enjoy what the Monadnock Region offers -- casual and fine dining, an independent bookstore, a gourmet marketplace, professional summer theater, hiking and the beautiful outdoors. Showings begin at the open house this Saturday and Sunday -- 12:30 to 2:30 each day.
