856 2nd NH Turnpike, Hillsborough, NH 03244 — No appointment needed for open house.
A property offering a level of flexibility that is increasingly hard to find.
Tucked away on 5.4 peaceful acres surrounded by established perennial gardens and abundant privacy, this charming Cape-style home features a spacious, separate in-law/accessory apartment — ideal for multigenerational living, extended family, or rental possibilities.
The main home offers a warm and inviting layout, beginning with a spacious living room featuring a gas fireplace and cathedral ceilings. The open-concept kitchen and dining area flow seamlessly to the deck, creating an easy setting for everyday living and entertaining. Two first-floor bedrooms and a full bath complete the main level. Upstairs, a generous 32' x 10' bedroom with skylights and a half bath provides a flexible retreat that could serve beautifully as a guest space, home office, or private primary suite.
Adding even more versatility is the separate 1,023 sq. ft. in-law/accessory apartment, complete with its own private entrance, heat, and electric. Inside, you'll find a comfortable living room, eat-in kitchen, and a bedroom with a cathedral ceiling and walk-in closet. The space offers an in-unit utility room with washer and dryer and a 3/4 bath, with a 12' x 12' office or study upstairs along with a large attic area for extra storage.
Outside, the property continues to impress with two wood sheds — both with electricity — a greenhouse, jacuzzi, patio, and large deck spaces. Relax in nature with established perennial gardens and plenty of room to enjoy the peaceful country setting. A new well, just one year old, adds further value, while multiple heating options including a propane gas fireplace, two wood stoves, and the option of oil heat provide added flexibility through New Hampshire's changing seasons.
With convenient access to Route 9 and close proximity to skiing, hiking, golf, and the Franklin Pierce Homestead, this unique property brings together privacy, versatility, and classic New Hampshire living.
A rare opportunity to own a versatile country property in the heart of the Monadnock region.
