WELCOME TO THIS LOVINGLY MAINTANED NEW ENGLAND HOME offering historic character and modern comfort enhanced by today’s amenities. Although part of the home was originally built in 1870, this approximately 1850 sf, 4-bedroom, 1-½ bath home has had many improvements over the years, but only four owners, including the current sellers for nearly four decades. The inviting kitchen is anchored by an AGA 5-burner gas range w/dual electric convection ovens, double porcelain farmhouse sink, and granite counters. Enjoy the sun-splashed family room featuring a tongue-and-groove ceiling, Jøtul enamel gas stove and built-ins or admire the gas fireplace set into a stone hearth in the living room. Optional 1^st floor bedroom is a plus for some. New Fuji septic system, public water, expanded electric panel, and a high-efficiency new Lennox hot-air furnace are just a few of the notable upgrades. The exterior includes durable fiber-cement clapboard siding for worry-free longevity. Rebuilt chimney tops, upgraded insulation, and Harvey windows throughout. Garage offers room for cars, hobbies, and toys. Cedar-fenced backyard oasis with a two-person hot tub, stamped concrete patio, abundant perennial gardens, high-producing grape vines and fruit trees and mature landscaping that bursts with color from spring through fall. Nestled on a quiet stretch of River Road in Lebanon, you’re only 1-minute to Route 202 and the Rochester, NH line, and just over 3-miles to Rte. 16 giving you effortless access to Portsmouth, the Seacoast, and the Mountains and Lakes Region—all while enjoying Maine’s country atmosphere and low taxes.
