Bring a map and compass when you explore this sprawling mid-century ranch in Manchester's true North End, because it features a veritable labyrinth of living spaces! The corner lot creates an immense front yard with enough area for shrubberies and soccer, and you still get a wonderful, private oasis out back. The deep covered front porch welcomes guests and shelters them from the elements, and as you step inside the first word to pop into your head will be "vast." The living room and dining room offer not just an open concept, but an open fact! In the living room the picture window creates a frame for the natural scenery and the pellet stove forms a warm focal point; and the dining room has enough gathering space for even the most extended families or group of friends, as well as a bank of windows facing the sunset. Behind the fireplace the heated sunroom is a great headquarters for toys or crafts, or make it a well-lit home office. The home has had a host of renovations, not the least of which was the kitchen, which is now a bright, modern oasis with mid-century pass-throughs and an ironing board closet turned spice rack. Down the hall, past the cedar closet, you'll find two of the bedrooms, including a primary suite with 2 closets (both bathrooms upstairs were updated), a sizable breezeway with access to a screen porch, and the garage. But yes, there's more! Thoughtful renovations in the basement have almost doubled the living space, with two more bedrooms featuring large daylight windows (one with a walk-in closet), full bath, an immense living area, as well as walk-out access to that wonderful, private backyard and patio, where birthday parties and peaceful relaxation can share equal billing. You also get some garden beds in the side yard, a walk-up attic for storage, an integrated "shed" under the breezeway...all in one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Manchester. Come explore this wonderful home for yourself! OPEN HOUSES: Sat. 8/8, 11-1, Sun. 8/9 12-2.
