About This Home

As of July 2021

Charming & Updated Cape Cod w/Large Yard-Showings Start Friday! Tucked on a quiet, tree-lined street just minutes to shopping and recreation, sits your new home. Come home each day to the delightful and generous front porch and imagine sipping tea and relaxing the days away- and that is only the beginning! Charm oozes from every corner of this home which is perfect for both entertaining and everyday living. Enter the oversized living room with chair rail trim detail and multiple windows for tons of natural light, plus a corner gas fireplace. Continue to the dining room which features a built-in wet bar and plenty of windows along with chair rail and crown molding trim details. The updated kitchen features new appliances, refreshed cabinets, new ceramic tile floor and plenty of space to stretch out. A coffee bar area in the attached rear sunroom area is the perfect way to start your day as sunlight pours in through the sliding glass door. An updated powder room with new floor completes this level. Upstairs, find the main bedroom suite- and what a room it is! With vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet and sitting room, you will enjoy starting and ending each day here. The 2nd bedroom is across the hall and features 2 windows which overlook the yard. An updated and oversized hall bathroom features new tile tub surround, new floor, and lots of space to stretch out. Head down to the lower level and see a world of opportunities. There is a finished recreation space that can be an additional hang out area, home office or craft room. Plenty of storage abounds, as well as a laundry nook with folding table and more. The current owner recently converted the house to desirable natural gas and installed a new heater along with a new hot water heater. Do not forget about the outside! Overlook your large, fenced-in yard from the rear deck and keep in mind there is a large garage behind the yard for storing all your extra stuff or parking a car. Do not wait- this one will not last. Contact us for your showing today!
