This is the perfect house for our family. Unbeknownst to us when we bought, there’s a gorgeous members only pool and tennis club behind us! Literally, a 20 second walk. My kids spend all summer up there swimming, playing sports and taking tennis lessons. They eat at the snack shack or run home for lunch and head back up! Across the street we have a pond stocked for fishing and lots of hiking trails. Countless miles of hiking trails can be found throughout town. Halloween here is crazy!!! People go above and beyond like something you’d see in a movie. Every house is decorated. Haunted and not so haunted houses. Hundreds of kids walking around. The excitement is palpable. We’re just under an hour to the NH/Maine coast which boasts beautiful beaches and some amazing seafood. We moved here from Boston and it only takes about an hour to get down there. During covid we didn’t travel much. We put some money into the house. Leveling the yard and having it re-seeded. New tree deck was built. We also had a hot tub installed. There’s plenty of kids bikes, scooters, fishing gear, snow gear, soccer nets etc in the garage.

Front of house is on a main road with a long driveway. We wanted to make sure we bought a home on a main road since it be plowed first in a snowstorm and my husband leaves for work at the firehouse at 5am. The back of the house is on a dead end street and the kids like to ride their bikes up there and go for walks. It’s in a HOA and everyone knows everyone. Airbnb and VRBO is not permitted here but swapping is! :)

We are a family of 5 with a home in southern New Hampshire. I’m a stay at home mom and my husband is a firefighter. His schedule is very flexible and we travel a lot. This sounds like a really cool way to travel and really “live like a local”.
