HAMPTON, N.H. — Beautiful, affordable and within walking distance to the beach, the new homes on Winnacunnet Road in Hampton are a real find. The two pairs of cottage style condexes are charming from the outside and absolutely gorgeous inside.
The homes have been perfectly situated on the large lot to give each unit a two-car garage and two parking spaces, while also maintaining the lovely landscaping on the front and a private wooded backyard. The covered front farmer's porch is welcoming, and the interesting gables, angles and windows of the homes give them a whimsical style.
Inside, the homes are surprisingly spacious and bright, with exceptional craftsmanship on display at every turn. The hardwood floors shine, the natural woodwork is eye-catching, and the many windows provide exceptional natural light. Everything about the home is attractive and fresh, with a true beach house style.
The open-concept great room, dining area and kitchen combine with a vaulted ceiling for a spectacular space. The kitchen is perfectly planned, with great work area and storage, but it is the custom natural oak cabinets that stand out for their simple beauty and details like the under-mounted cabinet lighting. Add in the gorgeous granite countertops, a farmer's sink, sky-lit vaulted ceiling, recessed lighting, and brand new appliances for a kitchen that is a real delight.
The vaulted dining area is sunlit from the multiple windows, and the double arched window on one wall frames the area with bright fall colors. It would be a great place for morning coffee or an intimate candlelight dinner.
With a corner gas log fireplace surrounded by a beautifully crafted traditional mantlepiece, the great room is a true pleasure. Double French doors lead out to the three-season sunroom and provide loads of natural light. The soaring cathedral ceiling, exposed staircase and loft give this room a real sense of openness without being overwhelming.
The sunroom is cozy and warm on a cool autumn afternoon. Looking out on the wooded backyard, the room is a great retreat. With walls of windows that open, it becomes a cool screened porch in summer.
Off the sunroom is a private deck providing yet another wonderful space. The deck would be an excellent place to relax or entertain on a warm summer night when the refreshing ocean breezes make Hampton the place to be.
The first-floor master bedroom suite is well designed and features a polished hardwood floor, handsome wainscotting and crown moldings for an elegant style. The double closets with paneled doors provide great storage, and the double windows make the room bright and cheerful. The tiled master bath is attractive and spacious.
The striking angled staircase carries the eye up to second floor loft room. This is a comfortable space and could be used as a sitting room or home office.
Upstairs are two good-sized bedrooms and a full bath. Each room is bright, with large windows and ample closet space.
A real bonus is the lower level, with plenty of daylight from full windows and a direct walkout door to the backyard. This is an enormous space with great potential. It could easily be divided into storage and a family room or hobby space.
These lovely new homes offer the best of all worlds, with pristine new construction and outstanding amenities, including split-zone central air conditioning, efficient natural gas heat, public water and sewer and carefree siding that will stand up to the Seacoast location. There is a nice first-floor powder room and a laundry. The two-car garage with direct access to the house is well planned for year-round living.
Only a half-mile walk, with sidewalks all the way to sandy North Beach, these homes blend beautifully into the well-established neighborhood. Since they are condexes, there is no condo fee.
Listed at just $359,900, these attractive new three bedroom, two and a half bath homes in income-tax free New Hampshire are a great value. New construction so close to the beach is unusual. And the quality of construction, size and terrific design are rarely seen in this price range.
