Sited behind a privacy hedge, you will find serene river views from this charming intown circa 1900 Cottage with frontage on the Contoocook River. Paddle to the local brewery, walk to casual and fine dining or take a short drive to summer theatre and nearby ponds and lakes. Passed down from one generation to the next, this home features terraces, pergolas, plantings and extensive stonework crafted by an earlier owner. The two story layout lends itself to accommodate a multi-generational family -- or offers lots of space and privacy for a home office or studio. The versatile floor plan has two main floor bedrooms, a bath, kitchen with a separate breakfast area, a living room overlooking the river and a lovely dining room with its original built-ins. The daylight lower level offers a great family/living room space, a third bedroom plus the early kitchen space created when two generations lived here. Laundry, bath and a workshop complete this floor. Decades of plantings create a wonderful landscape -- to name a few -- sedum, smoke bush, clematis, forsythia, daffodils, tree peony, iris, ferns, grapes, poppies, Jacobs ladder, allium, day lilies, tulips, Hollyhocks, Canadian spruce, Japanese maple, wild strawberries, lily of the valley,wild roses and many more. All creating a great habitat for robins, cat birds, sparrows, chickadee, house finches, mourning doves,Baltimore oriole, hummingbirds, Canadian geese, cardinals, juncos, wrens, goldfinches and many more call it home.
