About this home

Timeless early American reproduction Cape built by Raeside Dame, nestled on 2.13 manicured acres in the scenic town of Eliot. With just over 2,400 square ft of inviting living space, this 3-br, 4 bath home showcases incredible artisan craftsmanship throughout while also providing breathtaking views from every room. The heart of the home features a welcoming 18' x 13' LR with beamed ceilings, custom built-ins, box window and brick hearth flowing into the kitchen with butler's pantry, custom shelving and pantry. Adjacent is the formal DR, sun-filled FR and separate sunroom, where a pellet stove keeps the chill at bay, and where expansive windows frame breathtaking views beyond. The thoughtfully designed layout continues upstairs to include two distinct luxurious BR suites that maximize comfort and privacy (the primary suite features custom bookcases, jacuzzi tub, walk in and linen closets, and washer/dryer while the other suite could be used as either one or two BR's, also with a full bath and custom built-ins). An additional fully integrated in-law apt ideal for multi-generational arrangements, guests, au pair, or even your own yoga/exercise/office/music or art studio sits just off the two-car garage and includes a full bath, kitchenette, and is accessed by a separate entrance. An add'l tractor garage below the "Ell" apt provides add'l space for tools and garden equipment. Delivering FHA heating and Central Air in the main house, Rinnai heating in the apt, a woodworking area and bakers' kitchen in the basement, and so many additional unique details. In the rear of the home is an inviting brick patio atop a hand-stacked stone retaining wall which frames a postcard-perfect view of the picturesque grounds and rolling hills playing host to an abundance of wildlife, including deer, eagles, turkey and foxes. Mature maple, birch, dogwood, apple and pear trees canopy the remaining land providing a serene, private backdrop. Located close to Portsmouth and the seacoast areas.
