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.
