About This Home

As of June 2025

Welcome to this expanded and beautifully renovated 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home, where every corner is filled with warmth, light, and thoughtful design. From the inviting front porch to the sun-drenched interiors, this home blends classic charm with the ease of open-concept living. Inside, a cathedral-ceiling living room with a dramatic Palladian window sets the stage for both lively entertaining and peaceful lounging. The large, eat-in kitchen is the true heart of the home-flowing into a cozy family room with a fireplace and built-ins, then out through French doors to a large, private deck. Perfect for summer BBQs or quiet evenings, the backyard is a private haven with a wildflower meadow, vegetable garden, and open lawn ideal for play or gardening. The expansive primary suite is a peaceful retreat with a luxurious en suite bath and its own private deck-perfect for morning coffee with garden views. Three additional bedrooms offer comfort and flexibility, while the finished lower level provides a great space tailored to your lifestyle. Whether you're entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet weekend at home, this light-filled, lovingly updated Cape offers the perfect setting for modern living with a touch of nature.
