New construction 4 bedroom colonial home: Windham NH Castle Reach house for sale by Mr Janos

Castle Reach, Windham NH, New Hampshire: NEW hip-roof four bedroom colonial home with Portico entry, impressive 2 story foyer in prestigious Castle Reach phase III development. This new construction home is not only for sale but it is ready to move in today and you can select your carpeting and appliances now.

The corner lot is beautifully landscaped with curved retaining walls, lots of plants, shrubs and lush grass. A Y-shaped brick walkway leads visitors to the impressive portico entry with balcony. This colonial’s stately appearance is enhanced by 10 feet wide fieldstone steps to the front door with side lights and lanterns on either side.  

Your guests will be awed by the 16 x 9 feet two story foyer as light pours in through the arched Palladian window above. Since the front of the house enjoys a southern exposure, the turned oak staircase with curved railing becomes the focal point of this grand entry.

You won’t find too many other homes for sale at this price with these features in the Castle Reach area. This home is offered at a $544,900 list price which is nearly $20,000 below the $563,800 assessed value on the Windham town tax card. As this house sits on a corner lot, the privacy of this property makes it one of the most desirable real estates in this new construction subdivision.

Gleaming hardwood floors will guide your steps through the living room and a French door to the large 21 x 12 feet eat-in kitchen. Extra tall cabinets and built-in pantry provide ample space for all appliances and food supplies. A center island sits on tiled floors, and the generous counter space is lit up by light pouring down from a large number of recessed eyeball fixtures. You still have full control over choosing your appliances here if you act now.

Another set of French doors allow you to enjoy outdoor cooking activities on the large deck off the eat-in area. Through the handmade posts and spindles the deck overlooks a private backyard. When the trees fill in you probably won’t see any of your neighbors. The formal dining room with tray ceilings is just steps away from the kitchen and overlooks the stylish curved oak railing in the foyer.

Across the hallway from the dining room there is a den / guest room with a closet and plenty of recessed lighting. In addition to setting up your home office, if you like to take a quick snooze after a long feast or have little people in need of a nap, this might be the perfect spot.

Even from here you can see the impressive family room spanning the space above the two car garage. A large Palladian window towards the street side, two other windows overlooking the driveway and a French door to the second deck of the house will lit up the cathedral ceiling in this room. Outside, decorative lanterns on either side of the French door create ambiance on those quiet evenings.

Upstairs you will find four well-proportioned four bedrooms, including a master bedroom with recessed lights hidden in the tray ceiling. A luxurious 27 inches deep jetted tub awaits you in the master bathroom, which also offers a spacious NeoAngle corner shower for those hurried mornings. Extensive tile work with Italian rope molding decorates the bathtub area. You are just in time to choose your carpet from the available samples to decorate the 4 bedrooms and make this home yours.

The attic for extra storage can be accessed from one of the bedrooms. You will also appreciate the convenience of central VAC outlets everywhere. All rooms are internet ready, have CAT5 wiring and LAN outlets. The full basement is presently unfinished, 8 foot ceilings and a French door to the backyard would make it an excellent choice for future expansion.

This solidly crafted home offers many unique features. Next to the side entry on the left of this hip-roof colonial, a first floor laundry with a large closet provides room for coats, clean laundry, and takes care of the little muddy feet problem without having to wade through the garage. The adjoining half bath has a privacy door and a programmable fan.

The extra deep 2 car garage has its own direct entry in the rear of the house and decorative garage doors with top lights. The floors are extremely firm, in addition to LVT beams used as floor joices, a unique double framing structure takes all bounce out as you walk or your kids run around this house.

Cape Style Detached Condo in Manchester NH Derryfield Estates: new construction homes for sale near Lake Massabesic, Golf Course

Derryfield Estates, Manchester, New Hampshire: Exclusive 6-lot subdivision of detached cape style condos is equally near to the Golf Course and Lake Massabesic. Occupancy is open to all, there is NO age restriction, this is not a 55 and over community.

A stylish L-shaped configuration of a contemporary cape with a 2 car attached garage and farmers porch creates unique curb appeal. The charm of a new layout and traditional architecture is enhanced by a farmers porch that runs almost the full width of this house of about 32 feet. The oversized 24×24 attached garage brings the total street side frontage to an impressive 56 feet.

The garage is cleverly offset relative to the main house, allowing for an extra deep 5′6″ farmers porch (most are only 4 feet) which transforms the showy but typically useless space into one where furniture can be placed. Imagine a quiet conversation while enjoying the sunset over the wide expanse of green space between the two sides of this cozy community. Three large windows and the main entry door connect the farmers porch to the rest of the house and provide ample light into the living room and dining room.

As you enter this home through the front door off the farmer’s porch, you will be greeted by the welcoming openness of the unique floor plan. The living room, the adjoining dining room and the kitchen behind allow the visitor’s eyes to explore this open space unobstructed by walls. While the functional separation caters to a very liveable arrangement of furniture and function, this open flow of space will make the house feel even larger than it is (footprint occupies 56×40 feet, 64×44 for the larger model B). Finally a home big enough to invite all your friends at the same time!

The kitchen design is very efficient and functional at the same time. A large 5×3 center island connects the sink, dishwasher and range on one side to the fridge and additional counter space on the other, providing a momentary stop of food preparation as it progresses from storage to cooking.

The 1st floor laundry is an extension of the kitchen space and allows the owner to keep an eye on the laundry’s progress while engaging in other activities in the kitchen. No running up and down the stairs with hampers here, everything happens on the same floor with maximum efficiency.

The first floor full bath isolates the laundry area from the 16×13 bedroom on this level (20×14 in the larger model). The bedroom has direct access to this bath, hence it is suitable to be used as the master bedroom in this home. The rear elevation drawing reveals a deck running the full length of the house in the back behind this bedroom. For more outdoor space and large barbecue parties there is also room for a 23×20 deck extension behind the garage.

Two additional bedrooms (the larger one is 18×13) with another full bath on the second floor create the option of setting up the master bedroom upstairs. The bigger bedroom (22×14 in model B) has a large 10×4 bump-out nook for a reading corner or powder room. Overlooking the deck below two 60″x36″ windows create a wall of glass and make this bedroom light and cheery.

Derryfield Estates is located among the many recreational attractions that the great city of Manchester and neighboring towns offer. Derryfield Country Club is only 0.5 miles away and Stevens Pond (with great fishing) and the ballpark there are an even shorter walk. In the other direction, Lake Massabesic is only about 0.6 miles. The park, surrounding trails and yacht club create endless possibilities for fun in the summer, gorgeous views of foliage in the fall and sport activities during the winter. Oh, and did I mention the smell of spring around here? Downtown Manchester is also a well known center for all cultural and culinary venues of a vibrant city.

When you live at Derryfield Estates in Manchester NH, you will enjoy the benefits of quality construction, great location and a unique combination of the best life styles that a lively city and scenic countryside can provide. Extremely low condo fees make living here even more affordable. Proximity to I93, I293, Rt101 and the Manchester International Airport (the friendliest airport in the nation) give easy access to all destinations in Southern New Hampshire, Massachusetts and the whole country.

This community welcomes all ages (danger: even your kids and grandchildren can live with you or visit for extended periods of time, and yes they will want to, when they discover how much fun they can have with you and around your new home ;-) .

Builder’s information packet, building specifications and option list, detailed floor plans are available upon request. Don’t hesitate, this subdivision is approved for only 6 lots; there are three Model A (1,673 sqft) and only ONE Model B (2,341 sqft) homes available and there won’t be any more. Act now to reserve your new construction condo on the best lot you like in this premier community.
