Just a short drive from the cafes and shops of downtown Exeter, this lovely home at Blackford Place offers a warm, welcoming setting to make your family nest. Inside, an open-concept layout and well-placed windows create a spacious, natural light-filled, comfortable living area. You can feel that this home has been loved by its inhabitants, the original owners of 15 years! A well-maintained, eat-in kitchen (with island, breakfast nook and hardwood floors) anchors the center of this space. Everyone’s favorite gathering place is the front-to-back family room…where mornings ramp up over coffee and evenings wind down with movies by a wood-burning fireplace. It’s where you’ll find the best ‘perch,’ a built-in window seat on which to relax, look out over the south-facing backyard and watch cardinals in the gardens! Rounding out the first level’s 1500 sf are 3 additional rooms for dining, working and playing. And, upstairs, a master suite plus 3 bedrooms which share a bathroom. A full, unfinished attic and basement make great storage zones and offer potential for extra living space. Outside, there are fantastic outdoor living areas, prime for summer barbecues and pool parties…yes, it has an in-ground pool and sprawling patio! The backyard is private and serene, yet the opportunity to socialize with neighbors is there along the sidewalk-lined streets of the neighborhood. And, if walking the dog is part of your daily routine, you’ll be delighted by the peaceful walking trails nearby. The manager has listed the unit size as 3078 square feet.
