Single-floor living offers two bedrooms, a full bath with a classic cast-iron tub, and laundry on the main level. Upstairs, a bright third bedroom or flex space adds versatility. A cozy wood stove provides winter warmth, while a mini-split offers summer A/C. Standby generator ready to go. Just 25 minutes to Portsmouth, less than 1½ hours to Boston, and 50 minutes to Manchester, this property offers the tranquility of a private country setting with convenient access to area amenities.
