About This Home
Looking for a spot for your boat? This oversized Cape checks every box—and adds a vacation vibe for good measure! A side paved area off the driveway fits your boat, plus a new garage door for the 1-car garage. Enter via the tiered deck to a large entertaining space overlooking vibrant gardens and flowering trees. The updated kitchen features granite counters, under-cabinet lighting, and new fixtures. Off the kitchen are the laundry area, a guest bedroom, and an office or den. The spacious living room floods with natural light from sliders that open to a balcony with views of Attitash Lake. Upstairs offers a flexible space for an office or reading nook, three generous bedrooms, and a full bath. Updates include a new roof (2021), Navien heat/hot water system (2022), basement drainage and vapor barrier (2022), and updated electric (2020 & 2025). Don’t wait!
