ATTENTION car enthusiasts, collectors, woodworkers, this is more than a home, it’s an ultimate live-in workspace. Set on a beautiful ½+ acre lot, this Ranch offers a front-to-back living room, a quaint kitchen with a slider to the back deck, 2 bedrooms and a full bath. What truly sets this property apart is the massive 50x100 attached heated garage with two bay door entrances, with a conventional door in between both. With over 3,100 sq ft above, exposed lofted rafters for added storage, and an expansive open bay below featuring a car lift, and space for up to 10 vehicles this is a rare setup designed to support serious hobbies, business needs, or your growing collection. The exterior offers just as much, with mature trees, ample parking, and a quiet setting that still keeps you close to it all just minutes from the NH line and outdoor destinations like Watatic Mountain. Whether you’re storing, building, creating, or collecting this property could be just what you've been looking for!
