Tucked away on over 1.3 beautifully landscaped acres in Stratham's coveted Tidewater Farm neighborhood, this 4-bedroom Colonial offers an exceptional blend of privacy, comfort, and timeless New England charm. The heart of the home is a stunning open-concept kitchen featuring rich cherry cabinetry, quartz countertops, double ovens, and a dramatic vaulted ceiling with exposed beams. Designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining, the kitchen flows seamlessly into a sunny dining area and inviting family room anchored by a cozy wood-burning fireplace. For more formal occasions, an expansive dining room provides the perfect setting for gatherings and celebrations, while a separate living room accented by charming barn doors offers a comfortable retreat for relaxing or conversation. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a private sanctuary with a spa-inspired bath and soaking tub. Three additional generously sized bedrooms, a full bath with double vanities, and a dedicated home office provide flexibility for today's lifestyle. The partially finished lower level adds valuable bonus space for a home gym, media room, playroom, or hobby area. Outside, enjoy your own private oasis featuring an expansive deck, newer hot tub, terraced grounds, mature landscaping, invisible pet fence, and storage shed. Seasonal views of Great Bay enhance the property's peaceful setting, while nearby access to kayaking and outdoor recreation offers the best of Seacoast living.
