CUSTOM OASIS – (23 NUTE ROAD)

Is it time to ditch the rat race, but you don’t want to give up fine dining, shopping, the arts and that connection to a major city? Or do you need a change to a home that is less cookie-cutter and more of a custom oasis in nature, with space and privacy inside and out, with all the modern conveniences? How about making a move closer to the beaches, lakes, and mountains in a state without an income tax or sales tax? We have an answer for you here on the seacoast of New Hampshire, at 23 Nute Road in Madbury. You’ll love it here! Madbury will place you in the Oyster River School District without having to either live with the university bustle & sprawl or be 30 minutes from Dover and Portsmouth. It is also within 30 minutes of six private schools if you prefer, including the prestigious Phillips Exeter and Berwick Academies. This home is 15 minutes from the heartbeat of downtown Dover with all its shops, dining, and activities. Want more history, performing arts, and nightlife? Just head to Portsmouth, only 20 minutes away with a thriving waterfront downtown, award winning dining, and activities galore all year round with something for everyone. Portsmouth has diverse business and employment bases and loads of retail shopping, both big and boutique. There’s a reason both of these small cities are celebrating their 400th anniversaries this year – they offer so much to see and do, but also have great connections to commute or visit Boston, MA and Portland, ME via rail or hourly coach bus service, and are within an hour’s drive of both cities. This home has it all and is truly turn-key, sitting privately on over 6 acres of land where wildlife abounds. In 2021 this 4 bedroom, 2 1⁄2 bath home underwent a substantial designer-led renovation and offers a gourmet kitchen with breakfast bar, soapstone countertops, custom tile accents above the 6-burner gas range with vent hood, farm sink, and soft-close shaker solid maple cabinetry. The pantry offers plenty of room for storage including a beverage fridge, and figured maple flooring runs throughout the entire open-plan first floor. There is a large family room with a breakfast nook, gas heat stove, and access to the deck with a hot tub. On the second floor you will find all the bedrooms, a full bath, laundry room, and an amazing owner’s suite that will pamper you every day. The en-suite full bath has radiant heat under the entire floor (including the shower) and true craftsmanship in every detail – from custom tiling to a modern soaking tub, a dual vanity with honed soapstone counters, a heated backlit mirror, and even a heated towel rack. In the bedroom, you will find six closets, motorized skylight blinds, a balcony, and separate heating and cooling systems. The closets are plentiful throughout the rest of the home, there’s plenty of storage in the basement and the three-car garage as well – there’s no shortage of storage space here! Looking for solar sustainability without the hassle of installation? And a virtually non-existent power bill too? You’re covered there too with a 34-panel, 16.32kW, ground mounted solar system that was designed to provide power for the house’s five HVAC mini-splits for both heat and air conditioning, Level 2 charging for two EVs, all household power, and will sell the excess you generate but don’t use back to the grid! This is a seller-owned, maintenance free system that will transfer over to the buyer just one year into a 25-year system lifespan. This home offers extra redundancy from a forced hot air furnace, propane heat sources in the family room and owner’s suite, plus an auto-start standby generator. The well pump and water filtration system have been replaced and upgraded as well. The house sits back from a quiet road on a very large double lot. The large deck off the family room overlooks the marsh and wildlife, where you can unwind and watch the deer browsing along the treeline and the eagles circling overhead. Or take it all in from the luxury of your one year old heated hot tub all year round. There’s a reason the seacoast of NH has been rated one of the best places to live in the country, come visit and see why you’ll want to make this your home too!
