The Yard and Outbuildings:
Tilton Hill is a lovely neighborhood close to town but sitting in your yard you wouldnt even know the town exists. With this private yard you can see a barn across the street and one neighbor but you are only a couple of miles from the old mill town of Pittsfield. No worries if you forgot to get something on your way home from work Pittsfield is chock full of just about everything you would need in a crunch. It has two small grocery stores, pizza, Chinese food, a breakfast/lunch caf, movie store, banks, gas and more!
With almost 12 acres of field and woodlands you can take advantage of NHs current use land-use law to save substantially on you property tax. You would still have plenty of room to put a new barn. Take a look at these barn sites for ideas:Centerhill Barns or A&B Barns.
The huge two car, three story detached garage has so many possibilities. The sellers originally built it with the plans to make it a home above for the in-laws. Although this is not complete it gives you the idea of about how big it is with its on electricity 200 amp panel.
This is a fabulous home just awaiting a new family at a very reasonable price!
