8 Rose Lane | Atkinson, New Hampshire

Atkinson, New Hampshire is located just 40 miles north of Boston, Massachusetts.

With about 6,000 residents, Atkinson is the perfect location for those who seek the beauty and solitude of a more rural community, yet still be within minutes of tax free shopping in Salem, 30 minutes to the beach, 90 minutes to the Lakes Region, and just a couple of hours to great skiing in the White Mountains.

Located on a quiet, beautiful cul-de-sac with a total of only eight homes, the contemporary residence at 8 Rose Lane is simply stunning in every sense of the word. From its dramatic, one-of-a kind architecture to its circular driveway to its oversized rooms on both floors, this four-bedroom, four-bath home virtually embodies uniqueness and style.   

Custom-built in 1984 by the current owner, the home is situated on a gorgeous, extremely level two-acre lot. As fabulous as the exterior is, the home’s beauty is dwarfed by the rooms, the layout, and the amenities inside.  

The front entrance consists of a heavy set of double doors on an extra-wide flagstone stoop accented by recessed lights under the overhang. Inside, the large foyer features another set of double doors that lead to the tiled entranceway/hallway under a beautiful chandelier.  

To the left and down the hall are the master suite and the Great Room. The master suite, a sprawling 20 by 14, boasts hardwood floors, oversized windows, an enormous walk-in closet, cathedral ceilings, and a gigantic full bath with an oversized tub, a separate shower, a double-sink and a bidet. 

The Great Room, which features a breathtaking floor to ceiling fireplace and hearth, measures a cavernous 26 by 24 and has both hardwood floors and cathedral ceilings.  

Moving back down the hallway, we come to the 15 by 15 foot formal dining room with a gorgeous tile floor. At the back end of the dining room are sliders leading to a large screened-in porch, perfect for hosting friends who may want to sit out at night and enjoy the view of the oversized backyard.

Of course, these same friends can sit out on the 40-foot long deck if they prefer. They can access the deck from the porch, the sliding doors off the kitchen, or the sliding doors off the game room/den.

To the right of the dining room is the incredible 19 by 17 kitchen, which can only be described as near-perfect. Featuring granite countertops galore, a granite island, a cook-top stove, a double wall oven, a dishwasher, a refrigerator, oak cabinets, and outlets in every nook and cranny, the kitchen was re-done just a few years ago. It also includes a small built-in desk/work area for that laptop or TV.  

Just off the kitchen is a 14 by 10 laundry center.

To the right of the kitchen is the 23 by 16 game room and den, which features hardwood floors, a huge floor-to-ceiling stone see-through fireplace, and cathedral ceilings, as well as the additional sliders to the deck.

On the other side of the game room/den is the 24 by 16 living room, complete with recessed lighting and wet bar in the corner. As with many other rooms in the house, the living room also has hardwood floors and dramatic, oversized windows. 
Returning to the hallway, there is a half bath directly off the kitchen and one of the two stunning staircases to the upstairs level.
At the top, we’ll find four more enormous rooms (three bedrooms and a family room), as well as two additional bathrooms.
The family room measures a hard-to-believe 27 by 17 1/2 feet.

The three bedrooms measure 16 1/2 x 14, 17 x 14, and 13 x 15. Two of them share a full Jack-and-Jill bathroom while the third features its own ¾ bath.  

The lower level offers a two-car garage under and a huge, semi-finished exercise or weight room. 

This home features the usual amenities and more – an attic, cable, ceiling fans, an intercom, a sprinkler system, multiple phone lines, multiple skylights, and multiple oversized windows with window treatments. At night, the exterior spotlights do a great job of showing off the beauty of this one-of-a-kind Atkinson contemporary.
