About the home
Riverfront living on 2.76 acres, beside the Newfields Town Forest.
25 Runaway Road is a 2000 Colonial on 2.76 acres at the end of the Rivers Reach neighborhood in Newfields, with frontage on the Piscassic River. The lot abuts the Town Forest and the Piscassic River Wildlife Management Area, so the woods behind the house stay woods. Downtown Exeter and the Amtrak station are about 14 minutes away, and Portsmouth about 30.
Inside, high ceilings and windows on every side keep the rooms bright, and the hardwood floors on the main level were refinished in 2026, the same year the main level, the upper hall, the mudroom, and the living room's cathedral ceiling were repainted. The kitchen has an island, a gas range, and a beverage cooler added in 2024, and it opens to the dining room. The living room has a wood-burning fireplace under its cathedral ceiling, and a family room, an office, a first-floor laundry, and a half bath complete the main level. Upstairs are 4 bedrooms and 2 baths, including the primary suite with 2 closets and a bath renovated in 2018. The finished walkout lower level adds a second family room and a mudroom, about 1,060 square feet, beside the 2-car garage under the house.
Out back, a 3-season porch built in 2008 looks over the yard, with a deck and stairs down to the patio, the hot tub, and an outdoor shower. Trails through the woods lead to the river, where there is a firepit at the water's edge, and a vernal pond freezes for skating when the winter allows. The house has a 2023 Lennox propane furnace and central air, a 2022 architectural roof, a tankless water heater, an automatic standby generator, and an active radon mitigation system.
