HALLOWELL – Here in a fine family neighborhood within easy walking distance to Hall-Dale Elementary School is a spacious contemporary ranch, built in 1950, that comes with a couple of distinct advantages:

One is an attached, townhouse-style apartment of about 700 square feet, ideal as an in-law or guest suite, or as a rental (as it is presently being used) that brings in $700 monthly. Bedroom and full bath with soaking tub are on the second level; kitchen, living/dining and an office are on the first. The separate-entrance unit has its own furnace, too.

Secondly, the buyer will benefit from the many updates the owner has carried out in the past few years (the apartment is one of them). The roof, electric, and the furnace are 2004-recent, and windows are 2013-new. So is the big, brick patio. Handsome six-panel pine interior doors were installed throughout in 2014.

Enter through the three-season porch/mudroom, and you soon notice more updates, such as the pretty pendant lighting in the tiled kitchen, whose white appliances include a gas range. Next door is the formal dining room, now serving as an office; the living room is large enough for a dining area at one end (and a small table fits well in one kitchen corner).

To the rear is a new, cathedral-ceilinged master suite measuring more than 500 square feet. The bedroom has a pair of skylights, and French doors opening to a brand-new porch. The bath – jet soaking tub, and Corian vanity with two oval sinks – has a skylight, too, and the walk-in closet with lots of built-ins is the size of a small room.

The living room’s brick, wood-burning fireplace has a handsome dentil-molding mantel; new side panels, crafted by the owner, enhance the classic character. Through an arched doorway, off the hall are full, blue-tiled bath with soaking tub, and two good-sized bedrooms.

Downstairs adds more finished space – a carpeted family room/exercise room with brick, wood-burning fireplace, and even an infrared sauna (please inquire about availability. There’s an attached, updated bath with cool phone-booth-style tiled shower enclosure; a big, bright laundry/storage room; and a huge workshop/storage room with built-ins. Additional shop space is available in the daylight, two-bay garage, which augments the home’s original garage so that there is accommodation for three vehicles.

The back lawn of the 0.57-acre lot is fenced, making it a great play area, and includes a wide garden shed.

The 2,460-square-foot home at 25 Mayflower Road, Hallowell is listed for sale at $229,900 by Brady Palmer of Brady Palmer Real Estate in Manchester, and is being shown by appointment.

For more information or to arrange a private viewing, please contact Brady at 626-5900 or at bradypalmer2@hotmail.com.
