About This Home

As of March 2023

It's a delight to present this meticulously renovated Cape on desirable East Side. Every detail was given thoughtful consideration. A labor of love, and it shows. The house feels more like a colonial since the front dormer was added in 2012. Gorgeous kitchen with island, soapstone counters, cherry cabinets, and two large pantries. Warm, spacious living rm, and dining rm w/classic built-in corner cabinets. 1st-floor laundry. Five bedrooms and three bathrooms. Flexible floor plan w/option for a primary suite on the 1st or 2nd flr. 1st-floor bedroom would also be a fantastic office or 2nd living room. Central air throughout the 2nd floor. Storage throughout, from cubbies & walk-in closets to a clean, spray foam-insulated attic. Fabulous finished basement w/surround sound & more. Exterior is Hardie board & natural shingles. Fully fenced, level yard w/in-ground sprinklers. Beautiful retaining wall holds back a garden area that’s waiting for your seasonal plantings. Many more great features!
