Start at the covered entry, move through the kitchen and living area, and end in the backyard on the rail trail. Best viewed full-screen with sound on.

Open-concept main floor, hickory hardwoods, and a wood-burning fireplace. A bedroom set up as a dedicated home office, a spacious primary suite, and a back deck that opens onto the trail. Nestled in the trees on a private lot.
Beyond the listing photos, a few things that don't always come through in a drive-by: extra finished space below, a bonus shed, and a setting most Boston-area buyers won't find at this price.
Mature trees, landscaped gardens, and direct rail-trail access off the back of the lot. Total quiet, under ten minutes from downtown Keene.
A legal fifth bedroom, a full spa-shower bath, a quiet den, and generous storage — all fully finished, all flooded with light. The bedroom is generous and airy, with a sliding barn door to the walk-in closet and en-suite bath. Live in it today as a guest suite, rec room, or teen retreat. Convert it tomorrow into a self-contained in-law suite or rental — Swanzey permits ADUs, and the bones are already there.
Vaulted ceiling, sun-washed windows, and classic knotty pine — reading nook, guest space, or a third home-office setup.
The walls are lime and crushed marble, troweled on wet and burnished until they feel like warm stone. No grout, no tile seams, nothing to scrub. Rain head overhead, a carved niche for the shampoo. You'll stand in it longer than you mean to.
Beyond the 2-car attached garage — a separate shed for the mower, bikes, kayaks, and all the seasonal New England gear.
Two floors plus a finished basement, totaling 2,484 sq ft of living space with an intuitive open-concept main level and bedrooms clustered upstairs.
Swanzey is a quiet New England town tucked against the Ashuelot River, 5 minutes south of Keene. You get real countryside with walking trails, covered bridges, and Mt Monadnock on the horizon — plus a full-service college town with restaurants, a hospital, and a regional airport in your back pocket.

5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and an open main floor — room for a growing family, two home offices, and a guest suite without stepping on each other.
The Ashuelot Rail Trail abuts the back property line — walk, run, or cycle right out the back door, with miles of riverside gravel in either direction. Seasonal views of Swanzey's covered bridge from the property.
A vibrant college town with restaurants, coffee, a hospital, a regional airport, and the things you'd miss if you were truly remote.
Fidium fiber already installed — up to 2 Gbps symmetrical at the door. Two rooms set up as dedicated offices, plus a main-floor nook for afternoon calls.
New Hampshire has no state income tax and no sales tax. For most households relocating from MA, CT, or NY, that's five figures a year — every year.
Hickory hardwoods, a wood-burning fireplace, and a master en-suite. The character you came north for, without the fixer-upper surprise.
Usable as a primary residence, a remote-work base, or a weekend escape. Pull in off Route 10 and you're home.
Same list price, very different square footage. This is why buyers are moving to the Monadnock region.
