10 Rapids LaneManchester, NH 03109Sale Price: $630,000

Why risk delays with new construction? This classic colonial on public water/sewer has only been lived in lightly and still has that new home sheen--the hardwood floors throughout the first floor still gleam; the white cabinets still bring bright light & cheer to the beautiful kitchen; and all the systems are in tip-top shape. As you walk in you'll feel like you're being welcomed by the stately gas fireplace & spacious living room, and as you move into the kitchen you'll imagine your friends lounging on the stools at the island asking for a refill of Pinot, or grilling chicken on the deck and bantering about the Pats QB. The dining room features glass French doors, so it can easily be transformed into a deal-maker's office. And what could be more convenient than the first-floor laundry/half bath right by the kitchen and deck? The front-to-back primary suite features a double vanity and generous walk-in closet, and the other bedrooms have their own bath to share. Set well back from the cul-de-sac and sited on one of the largest lots in the subdivision, this home offers a wonderful degree of privacy & solitude. Yes, you can party on that deck, but it's also a refuge, a spot to breathe deeply and listen to the wind and birds in the trees that surround you, and marvel as they turn painterly in the Fall. There's plenty of room in the yard for a pool, tossing frisbees and baseballs, or chasing the puppy around. Offer deadline Monday the 12th at 6:00 pm.
