THE HOMESTEAD- This country home will give you a great place to begin as a homeowner or downsize to when the time comes! Nestled in a sun-splashed clearing in the forest, you'll be surrounded by the peace and tranquility of towering pines and stately maples. The yard is lush with tall orange lilies reaching for the sun, hosta and lily-of-the-valley covering areas in the shade, and bright red bee-balm that draws hummingbirds. A raised-bed garden area provides a place to grow your own food. The house was built almost a hundred years ago and retains much of the charm and character that went into the construction of one's own home in that earlier time. It has 2 bedrooms upstairs, one bedroom down, a family room, living room, kitchen with dining nook and one full bath with washer and dryer. Heat is oil fired hot water. The septic system was installed a few years ago. Water is supplied by Pittsfield Aqueduct Co. Electric range and refrigerator complete this ready-to-move-in home. There is a spacious cookout deck in front of the house and a smaller sitting area deck overlooking the back yard so you can enjoy time outdoors to the max. There is a 28' x 28' barn, and a chicken house. This home is about a half mile outside Pittsfield village on a state-maintained tar road, about 20 minutes from Concord and 45 min. to Manchester. Under an hour will get you to the ocean beaches or the White Mountains.
