Why rent when you can own for less? This highly sought-after Franklin Heights townhouse condo has been updated throughout for the fussiest of buyers, with brand new floors and fresh paint. The bathroom has been fully renovated, and a newer boiler keeps things cozy all winter. Walk in and the cathedral ceiling and open floor plan make the living room feel bright and roomy, while the loft bedroom upstairs looks out over the main floor like a mezzanine and gives the home a lot of character. In the kitchen, newer light fixtures and recessed lighting brighten up the tile floors and tile backsplash for a clean, finished look. As one of the larger units in the association, there's room to spread out, and storage is easy with multiple closets, an attic and a shed. Skylights and angle-top windows fill the home with natural light, and the porch doors lead out to your own private fenced patio with woods behind it, a great spot to grill or relax in the spring and summer. This is also one of the better-located units in the community, with a large backyard and a quiet, private setting behind a water stream, yet you can still walk to downtown Rochester. Dover is just 9 miles away and Portsmouth about 21. When summer comes, spend your afternoons by the in-ground pool or shooting hoops on the basketball court, both just a short walk from your front door, and enjoy the gazebo and tennis courts too. Two assigned parking spaces make coming and going simple. Enjoy true low-maintenance townhouse condo living, with the roof and siding replaced in recent years and landscaping and snow removal taken care of. It's also pet friendly with in-unit laundry.
