Just like Goldilocks, this house is *just right* - not too big or too little - easy to maintain and clean but enough space for everyone to spread out as they need. The yard feels the same - big open flat yard, enough room for three bases and home plate - but not acres and acres of lawn to mow every weekend. This classic Cape-style home sits on a nearly one-acre lot in peaceful Townsend - known for its quaint country feel and still a fairly easy commute into the busier city! Inside, the layout makes perfect sense: a cozy living room, separate dining area, and a flexible bonus room perfect as a home office, guest space, or fourth bedroom. The electric fireplace with charming decorative shiplap add warmth and character to the main living space. Floors mix hardwood, laminate, vinyl, and carpet throughout, and the kitchen and both bathrooms have been tastefully updated, including a new sink and stove. Downstairs, the full basement offers a bonus space that's almost finished, a little trim work and you've got a playroom, home gym, or craft studio plus plenty of additional storage. A few practical perks worth mentioning: solar panels help keep energy costs low, the water heater and stove are both under a year old, and public water and natural gas forced hot air heat keep annual costs low. Step outside to the deck off the kitchen, ideal for morning coffee or evening entertaining, and a yard with plenty of room to garden, play, or just relax. You're also minutes from some of the best outdoor recreation the area has to offer - Willard Brook State Forest, Trap Falls, Pearl Hill State Park and its swimming pond, the Squannacook River Rail Trail, and Townsend State Forest are all nearby, along with Townsend Common and Kids Kountry Playground for local fun. Comfortable, practical, and full of possibility this one's ready for its next chapter.
