This late 19th century home is a diamond in the rough waiting to be restored and revived! Centrally located in the heart of of Derry and nearby to other period style homes rich with history and character.  The covered wrap around porch is a nice welcome to this spacious New Englander,  where you will find all generously sized rooms.  Just off the front entry is a grand living room open to the dining room separated by the floor to ceiling center chimney fireplace.  And also open to a den/sitting area by the fireplace. Several period features remain, including a built in china hutch, a butler's pantry with a cast iron sink and a charming rear staircase off the kitchen.  The kitchen layout is very functional, with loads of counter space and cabinets, granite countertops and stainless appliances. The large island creates a great gathering space too. The woodstove adds character and a secondary heat source. The floors throughout are both pine and hardwood, the kitchen and bath floors are tile. The second floor has 2 bedrooms and a bonus or guest room. There is a 3/4 bath on the 1st floor and a full bath on the 2nd.  After some attention and landscaping the side yard and sloping backyard will once again complement this home. The location is very convenient,  walking distance to many amenities, Pinkerton Academy,  Hoodkroft, MacGregor Park and more. Great potential for the right buyer. The property is being sold as-is.
