Property Description
Welcome home to 196 Whitcomb Road, a well-maintained log home offering the ease of first-floor living in a private Swanzey setting. The main level features an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area with newer appliances and a full bathroom-an inviting space for everyday living and entertaining. A spacious primary suite includes a private bath with a whirlpool tub and a walk-in closet, while a mudroom with laundry adds everyday convenience. An antique cook stove near the kitchen adds charm and character, while a loft upstairs provides additional flexible living space. The full basement, complete with a wood stove, offers excellent storage or potential for future finishing. Outside, enjoy a deck overlooking the property, a handy shed, and frontage on the Branch River, all set back from the main road for added privacy. The attached two-car garage completes this comfortable home. Swanzey offers a blend of small-town charm and modern amenities, including shops, restaurants, parks, and outdoor recreation. The nearby Dillant-Hopkins Airport makes regional and private travel convenient. Watch planes take off and land from the airport restaurant.
