***Offer Deadline by Tuesday 3/17 at 9am.*** Neat as a pin & preserved with pride by its original owner, this cozy Cape proves that thoughtful stewardship never goes out of style. Prominently planted in a prime location & within a prized school system, 1,667 sq ft of inviting living unfolds across a floor plan that favors comfort, practicality, & just a dash of classic New England charm. Inside, handsome oak floors stride through much of the home, lending warmth beneath your feet & continuity from room to room. The home's heart beats in the sunlit country kitchen, where warm solid wood cabinetry & durable bamboo floors meet a Therma-Tru door with vented sidelights, framing serene views of the lush rear yard. Four bedrooms & two full baths offer flexibility for guests, hobbies, or the ever-useful home office. Out back, the scene steals the show: a composite deck steps down to a handsome new stone patio, both perfectly poised to preside over a wide-open yard where lawns sweep, gardens grow, & summer afternoons linger a little longer. An apple tree & raspberry bush promise seasonal sweetness, while a sizable shed stands ready for tools, toys, & weekend ambitions. Updates within the past decade-including Andersen windows, refreshed siding paint, granite front steps, a new entry door, mini splits, well pressure tank, & oil tank-deliver dependability behind the adornments. Add the unfinished basement ripe for future finishing, plus proximity to downtown Exeter, beaches, major routes, & very nearby Heronfield Academy, & this tidy treasure offers a new cheerful chapter to the next clever caretaker lucky enough to write it.
