About This Home

As of August 2024

Welcome to 140 N. Sylvania Avenue, where timeless charm meets modern comfort. This delightful Cape Cod home boasts three bedrooms, one and a half baths, and has been meticulously maintained by its devoted owner who is moving south to care for family. Updates done by previous owner include a new heater (2022), renovated bathroom (2020), as well as a refreshed house roof and gutters (2015), along with a newly replaced garage and shed roof (2021). Current owner installed LVP flooring (2022) in basement and a dishwasher (2023).

Step onto the inviting covered front porch and feel instantly at ease. Inside, a spacious living room awaits, bathed in natural light from abundant windows. The dining room seamlessly flows into the kitchen, featuring granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. For outdoor enthusiasts, the kitchen's exit leads to a sprawling custom-built deck, ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining.

The main level also hosts a convenient bedroom and full bathroom, offering flexible living arrangements. Upstairs, discover a generous landing area and two well-appointed bedrooms, each equipped with ceiling fans and custom closets.

Down to the lower level to find a tastefully finished family room/office space, storage and powder room, perfect for work, gatherings or relaxing evenings in. Ample storage awaits in the sizable laundry room, while additional closets offer organizational solutions. The lower level was thoughtfully remodeled in 2008, ensuring both style and functionality.

A charming Florida Room extends the living space, providing a tranquil retreat overlooking the backyard oasis. Green thumbs will appreciate the various gardening opportunities, complemented by the expansive fenced yard and shed.

Convenience is key with this location, offering proximity to shopping, dining, playgrounds, and scenic walking trails. Other notable improvements include new doors, a doggie door for furry friends, and upgraded windows throughout. Witness the vibrant blooms adorning the front of the property adding to the home's inviting curb appeal.

Complete with a detached garage featuring a newer door and attic storage, this residence effortlessly blends character with modern amenities. Don't miss the opportunity to call this meticulously cared-for property your new home.
