7 RIP ROAD- One of the most admired homes on one of Hanover's most coveted roads, this exceptional Colonial blends timeless charm, thoughtful design, and modern comfort. Set elegantly on a high knoll, the home enjoys westerly views toward Vermont and sits on a beautifully landscaped 1+ acre lot with inviting spaces for both everyday living and special gatherings. The iconic wraparound farmer's porch is truly special - a dreamy retreat for morning coffee, evening sunsets, and taking in the quiet rhythm of this beloved neighborhood. The original home has been thoughtfully renovated and expanded, adding a spacious garage and a breezeway that seamlessly connects the interior and exterior spaces. Inside, the open and welcoming main level features a generous kitchen with abundant storage that flows effortlessly to a screened porch and expansive back deck, creating an ideal setting for entertaining or relaxing outdoors. A nearby dining room opens to the living room and additional flexible spaces, all centered around a beautiful brick fireplace, while a powder room completes the level. Upstairs, the primary suite - featuring cathedral ceilings, a large walk-in closet, and a beautifully appointed bath with soaking tub and separate shower - occupies the west end of the home, capturing lovely views and evening light. A spacious second bedroom with its own walk-in closet, a third bedroom, and a conveniently located laundry room complete the upper level. Located on picturesque Rip Road, this turnkey property offers the perfect balance of privacy and convenience, just minutes from the Town of Hanover, Dartmouth College, nearby schools, and a network of walking trails and conserved lands. This is truly a special home in an extraordinary Upper Valley location. Some photos in gallery are virtually enhanced.
