Come home to this antique New Englander with an open concept and modern updates! An expansive front porch welcomes you home, a quiet place for a summer evening or to greet friends before heading indoors. Step through the front door into the mudroom where you can kick off your shoes, hang your coat, and set down groceries. From there, the home opens into the kitchen, which feels more spacious than you'd expect from a classic 1889 New Englander, with a flow between rooms not usually found in homes of this era. Just beyond, the dining room becomes the heart of the home, its parquet wood flooring adding warmth for holiday dinners, birthdays, or quiet weeknight meals. Adjoining it, a sun-drenched living space offers room to gather with friends, curl up with a good book, or simply enjoy the comfort of home. Each morning, step from the kitchen onto the covered back porch with a cup of coffee, overlooking the manicured yard and listening to the birds, a peaceful ritual you'll look forward to every day. This home has been lovingly maintained, with recent improvements including a replaced oil tank, chimney repairs, an updated front retaining wall finished with GenStone, regular deck maintenance, and new second floor washer and dryer. Upstairs, three bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, a home office, hobbies, or room to grow. There is a full bathroom and convenient washer and dryer upstairs. The main level has a three-quarter bath off the kitchen. Outside, a low-maintenance yard offers space to garden, play, or set up your chairs around the fire pit. The new Old Hickory shed keeps tools and seasonal items organized. Just minutes from downtown Hinsdale and about 15 miles from Keene, enjoy nearby shopping and dining while coming home to the peaceful charm of a small New England community. Approximately 7 miles to Brattleboro, VT, it is a quick drive to Brattleboro Memorial Hospital. Most furnishings are available for separate purchase.
