4 Wells Road

4 Wells Road sits on 0.70 acres that run from the road all the way back to the Spicket River. To the right of the house as you look at it from the street, the property opens into a wide lawn with room for a long table and a cornhole set and grass to spare. The house is a one-level ranch with two bedrooms and a full bath. The main room rises to a cathedral ceiling, so there is real height in the room where you spend most of your time, and a pellet stove backs up the oil furnace on the cold nights. Out the door is a wood deck for the grill and the chairs. Then there is the garage. The owner put it up in 2012, and it is big: attic storage above, its own electrical service separate from the house. Pull the truck in, run a bench down one wall, leave the door up on a Sunday. A shed and a covered dog pen round out the yard. The rest has been looked after. The drilled artesian well throws more water than a house can use. Insulation was upgraded under a New Hampshire state energy audit. The septic was serviced last October, both chimneys are lined and were swept this year, and Fidium fiber is already at the house. Wells Road is a dead end off North Main Street, and Route 28, the I-93 interchanges, and the Massachusetts line are all close by. You get a river lot and a yard you can lose a whole afternoon in, and you are still in Salem.
