36 Birchdale , Bow, NH 03303(Merrimack County)

This property is on 6.1 acres of almost entirely open field acreage and abuts White Rock Brook as the rear boundary. The 4 bedroom and 2.5 bath post and beam home was designed to be a passive solar house. It is sited to take full advantage of the local sun path throughout the day and seasonal variations without mechanical or electrical devices. From the foundation to the roof line, the design of the home helps collect heat in the winter and reject solar heat in the summer.

The open concept design is great for family and farm living as well economical to heat and keep cool. There is an expansive sun porch is on the south side of the home as you enter---a great place to slip off your boots and relax!

From the porch, you will step in to the kitchen. Central to the floor plan of the home, is the kitchen with a breakfast island that includes an extra vegetable sink. Remodeled last year, the kitchen has a great pantry, stainless steel appliances, granite tile counter tops and walnut flooring throughout most of the main floor. The dining and living rooms are open to the kitchen area, making family gatherings easy. These rooms are located along the south facing side of the home, so are beautifully sunlit.

Also, on the main floor, is the master suite. It is a very spacious room with a full bath that has double sinks plus theres a huge walk in closet. It could easily be an in-law suite, if needed.Just off the kitchen, is the half bath and laundry that includes a utility sinkperfect for farm clean up! The back door has a doggy door in it as well as a large fenced area for your smaller four legged friends. At one end of the living room near the stairway to the second floor, is the den or home office area. Upstairs is a nice open hallway with a bathroom and three additional bedrooms.
