Here's a home with historic charm but plenty of modern updates, in a lovely natural setting in the heart of friendly Old Candia Village. Its 4 bedrooms and 2300 square feet provide ample room for a large family or an in-home business, and the layout provides many options to accommodate your lifestyle. A more recent addition created a huge family room with wood-burning fireplace, so you can gaze out the picture window at the babbling brook, woods and pond beyond, or watch the snow lazily drift down as the fire warms your back. Upstairs there's a gigantic master suite complete with full bath and walk-in closet--a luxury not common for the age of the house--which also overlooks the natural beauty of the back yard. The babbling brook that runs alongside (stocked by the state) flows out past the lot to 30 landlocked acres (private but unposted) with ponds and some trails, so tranquil walks are just outside your back door. You may want to make some cosmetic changes, but almost the systems have all been updated: electrical, septic, well, roof, etc., so major repairs shouldn't worry you. And there are added amenities, like a whole-house filter, generator hook-up, first-floor laundry, cedar-lined closets, two high-yielding pear trees, abundant wild grapes, and a dwarf apple tree.

The 5-minute drive to Route 101 means you're within easy commuting distance to major employment centers, and Candia now attends Pinkerton High School, one of the best in the state.…  More Less
