Set on 1.84 acres in Bennington, this 3-bedroom ranch pairs a warm, character-filled interior with established gardens, a wooded backdrop, and one of the home's best surprises: an oversized screened porch made for summer living. The bright kitchen has been updated with granite counters, an apron-front sink, white cabinetry and a gas range, and opens to a cozy living/dining area with wide-plank pine floors, an exposed beam, wood stove, and a broad bank of windows overlooking the front yard. Just off the kitchen, the screened porch adds a substantial amount of usable space, complete with its own sink and a dedicated propane line for the grill. All three bedrooms and the full bath are on the main level. Downstairs, 592 square feet of finished space and a 3/4 bath create a flexible second living area well suited to guests, a media room, hobbies, or a home office. The unfinished portion of the basement offers plenty of room for storage, utilities, and workshop space. Outside, years of gardening show in the mature plantings and colorful beds surrounding the home, with open lawn around the house and woods behind. Enjoy a country setting with recreation close by at Crotched Mountain Ski & Ride and Powder Mill Pond, while downtown Peterborough is about 18 minutes away. Fiber optic internet is available. A warm and inviting home with flexible living space, established gardens, and a peaceful country setting.
