Set on three peaceful acres in Sutton, this home offers a country setting with a level front lawn, wooded surroundings and Stevens Brook meandering through the back of the property. There is plenty of room to garden, gather around a firepit or simply enjoy the privacy, all while being just minutes from I-89 for easy commuting. At the heart of the home is a spacious, open kitchen designed for cooking and gathering together. Granite countertops provide plenty of prep space, complemented by a center island, pantry, high-top bar seating and room for an eat-in table. The kitchen flows easily into the dining room and large family room, creating an inviting layout for both casual meals and entertaining. A brand-new pellet stove adds warmth to the family room, while direct access to the deck makes it easy to grill or take gatherings outdoors. A mudroom off the attached two-car garage provides a practical entry and conveniently houses the washer and dryer. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with a walk-in closet and private full bath. Above the garage, an unfinished space with electrical already in place offers exciting potential for a home office, studio or recreation room. The 34' x 28' unfinished basement offers both interior and exterior access, with plenty of room for storage and the potential to carve out space for a home gym or hobbies. The propane combi heating system is just five years old and provides hot water baseboard heat. Seller-owned 7.70 kW solar panels, installed in 2017, significantly reduce electricity costs and contribute to the home's year-round efficiency. Just minutes from I-89 and close to Concord, this location offers convenience for commuting and provides easy access to hiking, skiing and year-round recreation throughout the Lake Sunapee Region.
