Would you like to live close to downtown Keene? Just off the common on a quiet side street, this well-maintained, mid-19th-century brick New Englander blends antiquity with everyday ease. Two covered porches are yours for relaxing. Read a book, visit with friends or just watch the world go by. Listen to the birds chirp their hellos, and gaze into partially fenced yard with a sweet swing, and where established perennial gardens and flowering trees offer a quiet, leafy retreat. A large attached barn, in excellent condition, could be a delightful woodworker or a maker's workshop and a second garage space within the barn an additional possibility. Inside, sunlit rooms invite writing or painting in a dedicated studio. The one remaining original tin ceiling floats above hardwood and softwood floors; bull's-eye moldings, bay windows, arched double doors, and a welcoming fireplace keep history close at hand. The eat-in kitchen-updated with granite counters and a walk-in pantry opens to a lovely dining room with built in cabinets and a lovely bay window. Updated baths and most windows bring modern comfort without losing the home's soul. A first-floor bedroom (or primary suite) adds flexibility. You will find three bedrooms upstairs, a newly renovated full bath and ample storage space! A nice stroll from your doorstep is our quaint downtown. Convenience, creativity, and comfort in graceful harmony could be yours!
