Welcome to 71 Stone Pond Road in small, historic Marlborough NH, within the Monadnock Region. This octagon-shaped home was built in 1984 with a passive solar design to naturally capture the sun’s heat in the winter while avoiding it in the summer. It was carefully and meticulously planned to face south with large windows in the main living area and smaller windows in the bedrooms. Step onto the front enclosed porch for true country style. Enter the home to experience one-level living with 3 bedrooms and a ¾ bathroom with double-sink vanity on one side of the home. The kitchen offers a functional design with sage green cabinetry, warm wood accents, and open white shelving that adds character and charm. Butcher-block and light grey countertops provide generous prep space, while the white appliances with a gas range, and wood-plank flooring keep the room bright and inviting. The peninsula offers extra workspace and casual seating. The dining area flows effortlessly from the kitchen into a bright, open living space. Here you’ll find large windows that fill the space with natural light, a key part of that passive solar design. The living area beyond offers flexible space for comfortable seating and relaxing and entry into the sunroom beyond. From the sunroom step onto a quaint deck and observe the beautiful outside space. The home sits on a 2.2 acre cleared lot with 15.9 wooded acres to the side and behind; this larger lot is in current use (low taxes!). There is an outbuilding that is ideal as a man-cave, she-shed, kids hangout spot or anything else you can imagine. Here you’ll find heating, cooling, and a satellite dish for TV. In the large barn garage you’ll have plenty of space for a car or truck, motorized toys, bikes, a workshop, and equipment to maintain the yard. There is also an additional one bay garage at the front of the property, ideal for easy parking and walking across the yard for entry into the home. Full walk-out basement with flex space.
