476 E. High Street

This gorgeous home is perfectly situated near the top of Hanover Hill, one block from the wide-open spaces and recreation sites of Derryfield Park, close to McDonough Elementary, Hillside Middle and Trinity High schools, and just a hope and a skip to I-93 for easy commuting. Built in 1925, it has all the charm of the era including hardwood floors, arched doorways, corner cabinets, French doors, wall niches, glass doorknobs, etc., yet it also offers plenty of modern comforts like a beautifully-updated kitchen, mini-splits, new 200-amp electrical panel, and efficient natural gas heat. The living room is graced with a decorative fireplace and south-facing window that bathe the space in natural light, and the adjoining sunroom could be your own little plant-filled conservatory. The formal dining room includes two corner hutches, and the kitchen includes a center island and the cutest breakfast nook you've ever seen! Granite counters, stainless appliances, and soft-close cabinets are welcome additions as well. The primary bedroom upstairs also faces south so you can take advantage of some passive solar heating, and the other three bedrooms, while modest, are perfect for youngsters or home offices. Several hallway closets (including a cedar closet) expand your storage space. Outside you get a lovely patio just off the kitchen and enough yard to enjoy without creating maintenance stress, and the garage and long driveway are complemented by a second parking area by the rear entrance. In terms of style and location, this home will be hard to beat, so schedule your visit today! OPEN HOUSE: Sat., 11/14, 1:00-3:00 pm.
