About This Home
As of July 2021Don't miss out on this charming Cape Cod near the heart of Pitman! The first thing you'll notice is the covered front porch, perfect for enjoying your cup of coffee in the morning or relaxing in the evenings. The front door opens into the living room with a view all the way through the dining room and into the kitchen. Enjoy the openness while you take in the original hardwood floors, brick fireplace with custom mantle and wood burning insert with blower, ceiling fan with remote, large windows for plenty of natural light, and the expanded archway which gives a nod to the original craftsmanship. The hardwood floors continue into the dining room which has plenty of space, more large windows, and another ceiling fan. The dining room is open to the kitchen allowing you to prepare meals while still being part of the conversation. The kitchen features beautiful wood cabinets, laminate tile flooring for easy clean-up, a new dishwasher, 5 burner gas stove, a large granite sink, and a window overlooking your fully fenced back yard. Off of the kitchen is a conveniently located mudroom which can be used as additional storage or pantry space and provides access to the backyard. The main floor also includes two nicely sized bedrooms with good closet space, a linen closet, and a full bathroom with a tub/shower and window. The upstairs has been finished into one large expansive area with spaces at either end which can be used as a third and possibly fourth bedroom. There are two large closets (one walk-in), a built in storage bench, and tons of easily accessible under-eaves storage. Plenty of light flows through the windows and skylight. There is a large AC wall unit to supplement the central air when needed. Use your imagination to envision all of the possibilities this upstairs offers! There is also a full basement with entry from the kitchen. The basement has a clean cement floor with french drain, drylok cinderblock foundation, and newer windows. The newer washer and dryer are included. The backyard is spacious with a 12x14 paver patio, a storage shed, and a large 12x20 shed with loft. Sellers will be replacing the existing wood fence with a 6' white vinyl privacy fence with two gates. The AC unit outside is only 1 year old, the water heater is only 2 years old. The front and storm door were replaced about 3 years ago. The storm door has an easy up and down screen to take advantage of the cool Spring breezes. This home has been lovingly upgraded and maintained over the years, and the Sellers are providing a one year HSA Home Warranty for your peace of mind. The Boro of Pitman offers that sought-after small town feel with a walkable downtown area featuring loads of small businesses, eateries, the Broadway Theatre, parks, sports fields, and 3 walking district elementary schools. Don't hesitate, schedule your showing today and come see all this home has to offer!
