Perched high above the city, your own private eagle's nest awaits you! The gently sloping terrain is wonderful palette for your landscaping skills, and the view from the front entry porch, the living room, kitchen, and rear deck provides an expansive and calming vista. As you come the front entryway the living room welcomes you into its open, well-lit arms and encourages relaxation. The living room is open to the dining area at one end of the kitchen so friends and family are never far away, and the kitchen itself is a marvel of efficiency, with loads of cabinets with pull-out shelving and drawers. And once you've prepared a fabulous meal you can carry it right out to the deck for al fresco dining. But who needs food? The deck is the perfect place hang out and sip cocktails while listening to the birds and watching the sun sink in the west. And at the end of your busy day you'll have an oasis in the grand primary suite with amazing closet space to retire to. A second, roomy bedroom with two double closets and a shared full bathroom round out this level. The finished basement expands the living space and can serve any purpose you can conjure--workout space, craft area, game or sports room--and there's a large laundry area that's plumbed for a third bathroom if you want one. The wide 2-car garage leaves space for kayaks, tool chests, or gardening supplies, but there's also a shed to store such things. Storage is the watchword in this house, and you also get a huge walk-up attic that will hold your holiday decorations, luggage, and all the things you know you'll need someday! You're a short hop to Derryfield Park, the highway, and McItyre Ski Area, and with the elevated view, this is one of Manchester's most desirable locations. So yes, you may want to replace some carpet and do some other minor updates, but this unique home will be well worth it. Come see for yourself! Sellers have set an OFFER DEADLINE of Monday at noon.
