Looking for the perfect home that has Pinkerton Academy access before school year starts? Maybe you want to grow into that forever home and settle down in a community that has a great school system and convenient to everything in New England? Welcome to The Alderwood Estate! A beautifully maintained Colonial nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac in one of Hooksett's best kept secret neighborhoods. Offering over 2,300 square feet of living space, this home is classified currently as a 3 bedroom home with 2.5-baths. The first floor offers a bonus room that easily could function as a bedroom and is right across the hall from the half bath and first floor laundry for convenience! The sellers used this room as a bedroom for an aging parent and it worked beautifully for them. The inviting floor plan features hardwood floors, spacious gathering areas, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace perfect for New England evenings. Enjoy year-round efficiency with a back up pellet furnace, Newer Forced Hot Water System, private well and septic systems, and generator-ready wiring for added peace of mind.
