Discover a truly special property where classic Cape charm meets an extraordinary landscape setting. Beautifully maintained and thoughtfully cared for, this 5 room 3 bedroom Cape-style home is set on 2.56 acres of open, meticulously landscaped grounds in Derry, NH offering a rare sense of space, beauty, and possibility. Inside, the inviting open-concept kitchen, dining, and living areas create a warm and connected environment ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The home offers comfortable spaces with the flexibility to make them your own, while the surrounding property provides a remarkable extension of the living space outdoors. The grounds are the true signature of this property. An exceptional collection of mature plantings creates beauty and character throughout the seasons, including approximately 100 feet of hydrangeas, 66 feet of holly, 70 feet of lilacs, 300 feet of rhododendrons, 130 feet of forsythia, two apple trees, and eight mature Japanese maple trees. Multiple outdoor water spigots are conveniently located throughout the property for gardening, landscaping, and outdoor enjoyment. A "future" detached garage/barn would add versatility, storage, and additional potential, while the expansive 2.56-acre parcel opens the door to a variety of other possibilities. The property may offer potential for an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) subject to zoning and required approvals. Rarely does a property offer this combination of a lovingly maintained home, spectacular established landscaping, acreage, and opportunity. Whether you envision creating a private retreat, embracing your passion for gardening, utilizing a future detached barn/garage, or exploring this homes potential, this is a property with room to dream and room to make those dreams a reality. Quick Close possible!
