About This Home

As of October 2019

Think cool, think Cape! This perfect starter or transition home is it, in a great location near St. Joe's and Rte 222! It features hardwood floors throughout, lots of updates and upgrades, and a bonus room/possible 4th bedroom with storage, work space, and a separate entrance to the garage and lovely back yard. The warmth of this home is apparent from the moment you walk into the cozy living room. From there, go upstairs to two private bedrooms or stroll to the bright and beautiful dining room. Then onward to an adorable space-saver kitchen with built-in shelves and a view of the lovely back yard! Just down the hall: a full bath and master 1st floor bedroom! Want even more space? Check out the pantry/laundry room just steps away, then take in the huge bonus room and on to the beautiful outdoors - the spacious back yard features a patio, raised bed garden, and a shed! This cool cape is waiting for YOU!
