Property Description
Welcome to this charming historic 1861-built home in Upper Onslow, offering a wonderful opportunity for families seeking space, character, and a welcoming community lifestyle. Set on 1.7 acres with beautiful views of the Salmon River Valley, this property provides plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors while being conveniently located close to schools, shopping, recreation, and everyday amenities. This four-bedroom, 1.5-bath home showcases the warmth and character of a historic residence with hardwood floors throughout much of the home, complemented by tile and vinyl flooring. The main level features a welcoming foyer, spacious living room with a cozy wood fireplace insert, well-appointed kitchen, dining area, rear mudroom with laundry, and a convenient two-piece bathroom. The layout offers excellent flexibility for a growing family, with a main-floor bedroom featuring a heat pump that could also serve as a home office, guest space, or quiet retreat. Step outside to enjoy the newer rear deck and expansive backyard, complete with an inviting 18' x 36' pool — the perfect setting for summer gatherings, family fun, and creating lasting memories. The upper level provides three additional bedrooms, a comfortable sitting area, and a spacious full bathroom. The home also offers generous storage options with additional rooms on both the upper level and basement. Practical updates include an oil-fired forced-air furnace, updated 100-amp electrical panel, newer vinyl windows, and oil fired hot water tank. Combining historic charm, a family-friendly layout, outdoor enjoyment, and a convenient Upper Onslow location, this property offers a unique opportunity to own a character home close to the amenities families need.
