Family home with beach access



With a paved circular driveway, plenty of mature evergreens and deciduous trees, a towering cedar hedge, cedar shingles and crisp white trim, 38 Nerepis Road is an eye catching classic family home, like the kind you’d see in a movie.

Set on 1 3/4 acres with access to an inviting sandy beach on the St. John River, this beautiful five-bedroom Cape Cod is a home where memories will be made. The backyard begs for boisterous games of tag or an impromptu family soccer match. The surrounding woods with tall majestic maples, birches, pines and spruce are just waiting to be explored. The deck is ready for even the biggest of family barbecues.

Inside, a roaring fire welcomes you to the large formal living room. This inviting space is ideal for gatherings of all sizes. Big windows let in plenty of natural light, there’s beautifully maintained original maple hardwood flooring, a separate sitting area and double French doors to the year-round sun room.

More solid wood French doors open onto the very spacious formal dining room. Here you’ll find lovely hardwood flooring, a built-in china cabinet, sliding doors to the huge backyard deck, and enough room to entertain at least twelve dinner guests.

A butler’s pantry connects the dining room to the kitchen eating area/family room. This bright and cosy, yet spacious, room will be a popular hangout while dinner is prepared in the functional kitchen with European cabinets, fridge, stove, dishwasher, microwave and fan all included. This room has a gorgeous view of the backyard and the St. John River beyond.

The main level of the 3,567 square foot home also features a large rec room with built-in shelving, master bedroom with walk-in closet and 3-piece ensuite bath, two mudroom entrances, a laundry room, a formal entrance vestibule, and a two-piece powder room.

A joint double staircase leads to the second floor, one from the family room and another from the living room. Upstairs you’ll find a lovely foyer with maple hardwood, a large walk-in closet with a built-in dresser a three-piece bathroom and four large bedrooms.

All bedrooms are large. Two, both with maple hardwood and big closets, face the front of the home. The remaining two face the back of the home and as a result offer up lovely views of the St. John River and mountains. One of these bedrooms also has a three-piece ensuite bath.

The full-sized, well-ventilated attic offers prime storage space and could be finished as a hobby room, studio …

The walkout basement offers even more dry storage space as well as a huge workshop. There is an exit to the backyard and two sets of stairs lead to the main level. This sturdy concrete basement has been popular with the hockey players who grew up in the home. There is plenty of space for a games room.

Built in 1925, the home reflects the quality of construction and character of its day yet features numerous upgrades such as newer vinyl windows, roof and a powerhouse 400-amp entrance. There’s an attached, insulated 20 x 23 foot, two-car garage, as well as a backyard garden shed.

The home is within walking distance to the beach, the Westfield Golf & Country Club, and minutes’ drive to schools, shopping, and amenities. Enjoy boating, swimming, kayaking, canoeing, skating and snowshoeing on the St. John River right from your own backyard.
