*OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY 8/25 12 - 2PM* Welcome to The Moats, a lovely neighborhood of high-end homes in low-tax Albany, where this meticulously maintained classic Cape-style home is situated. Tucked back through the trees on a large 2.5 acre corner lot, this home enjoys plenty of peace and privacy all around. The paved driveway leads to a heated 2-car garage underneath the home, or follow the stone steps through the beautiful mature landscaping and bright blue hydrangeas to the front entryway. The main floor has an open concept layout with an eat-in kitchen equipped with newer stainless appliances, granite countertops, and newly refinished hardwood floors. Oversized windows let in tons of natural light, and the living room stays cozy with a gas fireplace fronted with stone tile, a live edge wood mantel, and custom built-in cabinetry. Sliders lead out to the patio area for grilling and dining in the summer. Rounding out the main level are a 3/4 bathroom, den with closet, and a large first floor bedroom with double closets. Upstairs, there are two huge bedrooms with hardwood floors and sliding barn door accents, a large bathroom with a tile and glass shower plus a double vanity. Outside is the backyard oasis! There's space for gardening, a large shed, a patio area with room for a fire pit, space for seating, and a bark mulch yard for easier maintenance. Enjoy easy access to a multitude of hiking trails along the scenic Kancamagus Highway.
