The classic New England charm of an old school house meets thoughtful modern updates. Set on a picturesque lot in East Derry, this beautifully improved Cape offers the perfect blend of character, comfort, and peace of mind. Inside, you'll find hardwood floors throughout, a remodeled kitchen, updated bathrooms, and a flexible floor plan. The inviting living room is anchored by a high-efficiency wood stove installed in 2024, creating a warm and welcoming gathering space. Major improvements include Renewal by Andersen windows, new vinyl siding, new roof, and new oil tank. Outside, enjoy the freshly paved large driveway and walkway, welcoming front porch, and spacious yard with room to relax, garden, or entertain. The detached garage/workshop has also been extensively updated with new garage doors, windows, siding, and propane heat, offering outstanding flexibility for hobbies, storage, or workspace. The property has previously supported a legal business use, with buyers encouraged to verify future use requirements with the Town of Derry. Conveniently located near Island Pond recreation, shopping, dining, commuter routes, and local amenities, this move-in ready home combines timeless appeal with an impressive list of upgrades that are hard to find.
