6 Woodlawn Ave, Bedford, NH 03110

Lovingly built in 1946 by its one and only owner, this is a solid home that will reward your sweat with plenty of equity. The kitchen runs the full width of the back of the house, and opens to a cute screen porch, which in turn leads to a deck, which leads to the huge back yard. The two bedrooms upstairs flank a spacious closet that maybe could be plumbed as another bathroom, but the master bedroom already has its own convenient half bath. Arched doorways grace the passages from the living room into the kitchen and the den, the latter featuring a Vermont Castings wood stove that is capable of heating the entire house. The basement is dry and solid, with a built-in workbench and shelving, so you could easily finish more space down there. The in-ground pool was filled in, but all the infrastructure is there--a broad patio, a wonderful covered pavilion, & a "cabana" room off the house that includes a three-quarter bathroom (not included in bathroom count above), so you could bring the pool back or add an above-ground version. And the lot is so large that, in addition to all the space devoted to outdoor lounging & living (and swimming), there's plenty of open space to put in a good-sized garden (heck, a small farm!). The front and back of the side yard are flanked by lilacs, two large evergreens grace the other end of the back yard, and the stone retaining wall along the front adds a fine New England touch. Put all those HGTV ideas into action and make this one YOUR home!
