In a perfect in-town Peterborough location, sited on 17.5 private acres, you will find this lovely updated home, a separate studio, a large workshop and a coop for your chickens. Originally built in the 1980s, the home has been expanded and updated over the years. You enter through a well-designed mud room -- lots of space for coats, boots, skis and more. This leads to a very spacious kitchen filled with natural light, featuring a dining space, custom cabinetry, miles of prep space, a Whitehaus farmer's sink, wall-oven, gas cooktop, refrigerator and a separate beverage refrigerator. The kitchen flows to a family room with built-in cabinets, and freshly finished floors. Off the large four season porch you will a find deck that spans much of the back of the home. On the main floor, you will also enjoy the library space -- perfect for a home office or a quiet space to relax and read. Continuing from the library, you will find the very spacious primary bedroom suite, with a soaking tub and shower, a walk-in closet and a loft space above. A half bath completes the main floor. On the second level, you will find two bedrooms, a full bath and a reading nook. Detached from the home is a 2 car garage with a studio space on the second floor. A separate workshop and chicken coop complete the buildings on the property. Enjoy fine and casual dining, professional summer theatre, an independent bookstore and the entire Monadnock Region for hiking, swimming and winter sports activities.
