Property Description

Set on a picture-perfect street in Manchester’s highly desirable North End, this charming English-style Cape blends timeless character, beautiful craftsmanship, and a wonderfully walkable location close to everything. Lovingly owned and meticulously maintained by the same owners for 54 years, this special home is rich in classic details, warm woodwork, custom built-ins, and beautiful hardwood floors throughout. The inviting interior offers a traditional yet comfortable layout, featuring a welcoming living room with a central fireplace, a sunny southerly exposed den with built-in bookshelves, and a formal dining room with an oversized glass built-in cabinet. The kitchen combines classic charm with thoughtful updates, including soapstone countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a walk-in pantry. Hardwood stairs lead to the 2nd floor, where you’ll find 3 bedrooms all with hardwood floors and a spacious full bath. Enjoy lovely light in the spacious primary bedroom which has 2 closets, one of which is a walk-in. There's a 4th bedroom or office (currently without a heat register) which provides more flexibility to customize the layout for your needs. A partially finished basement (no current heat source - wood stove disconnected) provides additional flexible space, along with abundant storage. Outside, the beautifully landscaped grounds create a private retreat, complete with a fully fenced yard featuring vinyl privacy fencing, a charming brick patio, and a sunny screened porch perfect for relaxing or entertaining. A detached two-car garage adds convenience and functionality. Thoughtful improvements include Harvey windows, a 3 year-old natural gas steam boiler, and a 5 year-old architectural shingle roof. Don't miss this wonderful opportunity to own a character-filled home on one of Manchester’s most appealing streets, where classic New England charm meets everyday convenience.
