Is now the time to consider downtown living in Concord? Is the “flight back to the city” something you have been thinking of?
“The demographic market is changing right before our eyes in the world of Real Estate,” said Susan Roemer of Better Homes & Gardens Masiello Group. “The need for ‘baby boomer’ housing is ramping up. Buyers are considering less land, convenient location and quality over quantity when it comes their living space.”
The house at 114 N. State St., is walking distance to beautiful downtown Concord; convenient to unique shopping, elegant restaurants and entertainment.
John LaPlante Builders, Inc. of Concord has meticulously renovated the classic brick colonial at 114 N. State St. LaPlante and his team have carefully restored the prestigious home and brought it up to current living standards, keeping in mind the importance of the home’s historic details. There is refinished maple flooring, a modern kitchen with a natural gas stove and updated baths. The crucial details of new windows and blown-in insulation in the walls and attic have also increased energy efficiency.
The home features three bedrooms and one-and-a-half bathrooms, along with a mudroom area, three-season porch, patio, a detached two-car garage and lots of natural light.
Sited on an ideal corner lot, the home offers more than 2,300-square-feet of living space and includes lots of great places for friends and family to enjoy a visit. The home combines historic charm with modern day amenities.
Upon arrival, a beautiful stone walkway and covered entry greets residents and guests. The yellow trim around the windows and the lovely forest green front door add a wonderful contrast to the stately brick façade.
Once inside, the home exudes a warm and inviting atmosphere. There is a vestibule leading into the formal entrance hall, which features a handsome wooden staircase with its original railing and newel posts, along with gleaming hardwood floors and abundance of natural light.
To the right is the spacious dining area and updated kitchen with honed 12- by 24-inch slate tile, fashionable white cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a thoughtfully located corner stainless sink, raised breakfast bar with room for seating, and overhead pendant lighting.
Just steps away the formal parlor features a vintage slate, brick, and carved mahogany faux fireplace. It’s an interesting conversation piece, as stately homes such as this always featured a fireplace in the parlor. Off of the parlor is another generous sized sitting room with walls of windows and views of the backyard patio area.
The home also has a slate tiled enclosed three-season porch accessed from the dining room. This is destined to become a favorite spot to enjoy a morning cup of coffee. A second porch entrance from the patio in the backyard is the perfect setup for grilling and relaxing in the warmer weather.
Upstairs, the master bedroom is large and bright, featuring his and hers closets. There are two additional generously-sized bedrooms and a full bathroom. The upstairs hallway also has a built-in cabinet, adding to the home’s historic charm. Homes at the turn of the century were known for these custom storage solutions.
Downstairs, the basement is partially finished. It could be transformed for additional living space, if desired.
The home also has a matching brick detached, two-car garage and ample off-street parking, which is important in the busy capital.
Located in the heart of Concord, this stately home is within walking distance of downtown shops and restaurants, parks and schools. It is also in a great commuter location, with highway access to Boston, Manchester and the New Hampshire Lakes Region.
114 N. State St., has much to offer today’s homebuyer. Whether you’re a baby boomer downsizing, a new couple wanting to live in town, or trying to accommodate a growing family, this home is a must-see!
