About This Home

As of June 2021

Charmingly updated 3 bed cape on Church Street will perch you in the thick of all the action that downtown Guilford has to offer! Less than a mile to the Green – library, shopping, restaurants – and just a bit further is the beach and marina. Move-in ready home has new waterproof vinyl flooring throughout most of the rooms and original hardwood floors in the living room and main floor bedrooms. The eat-in kitchen has painted white cabinets with new hardware and new stainless-steel appliances. The bedrooms are nicely sized and flooded with natural sunlight. The bathroom has been updated with new plumbing, sink, flooring and vanity. Upstairs is a 3rd bedroom and office/den. Washer and dryer are located on the main utility room. The sweet, enclosed porch offers seasonal hang out space and leads to the lovely back yard. The septic system is brand new and led to the reconceptualization of the yard into 2 areas. The top space was leveled off into new grass and garden with a retaining wall. Steps down is the fire pit and partially fenced back yard. There is a detached garage with a bonus room behind it that serves as a music room, soundproofed with insulation and double drywall and with new windows and HVAC. You can play your music as loud as you like without bothering anyone or you could have a private office separate from the house. Google Nest Thermostats, Doorbell and Camera. There is so much to love about this house. Come see for yourself!
