About This Home

As of June 2025

This 4 bedroom, 2 bath Cape Cod has all the space and features you need inside and out! With 3 bedrooms and a full bath upstairs, there's plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The finished basement adds even more living space, complete with a cozy living room, a private bedroom, full bathroom, and laundry area. You'll love the hardwood floors, and the fact that all appliances stay makes moving in a breeze. Major updates like a tankless water heater and water softener (2021), plus new attic insulation (2020), mean added comfort and energy savings from day one. Out back, you can enjoy an 18-foot above ground pool, concrete patio, and a fully fenced yard perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or letting the kids and pets play safely. Don't miss the rooftop balcony for those sunny mornings or cool evening hangouts. The 3-4 car heated, detached garage with alley access is a dream setup, great for extra storage, a workshop, or keeping your vehicles protected year round. This home has the space, updates, and outdoor extras you've been looking for. Schedule your private showing today!
