95 Charles StreetMilton, NH 03851Price: $289,900

Instead of renting or settling for a condo, you can own this beautiful single-family home for under $290,000. The home has been well cared for over the years, and it shows from the moment you pull up, with sharp-looking siding, a young roof, and replacement vinyl windows throughout. Step inside and you'll appreciate the character of the pine walls, wood trim, and classic French doors leading into the kitchen. Newer flooring continues throughout the home, while the updated kitchen brings everything together with gray cabinets, a tile backsplash, and a new fridge. A sliding glass door just off the kitchen leads right out to the backyard. The bathroom has been updated with a newer vanity, tub, and flooring, and there's the added convenience of having your own washer and dryer right at home. Head upstairs and you'll find even more of the home's character, with high ceilings, warm pine throughout, and beautiful hardwood floors. The pine doors, trim, and built-in cabinetry add to the charm and give this home a feel that's hard to find at this price point. Beyond the charm, the home has also seen thoughtful updates behind the scenes, including a newer electrical panel and oil tank, a heating system that's been serviced annually, and closed-cell spray foam insulation to help keep things comfortable through New England's changing seasons. Don't let the lot size fool you - the fenced-in private backyard offers plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors, whether you're hosting family gatherings or relaxing on the recently redone deck. Located between the Lakes Region and the Seacoast, you're just a short drive from Portsmouth and have easy access to Route 16. Milton Three Ponds is right nearby for enjoying a day on the water, with local shops, restaurants, and schools all within reach.
