About This Home
As of December 2023Extremely well cared for all brick Cape Cod, located on a large mature corner Bailey neighborhood lot. You will love the charm inside and out of this, hard not to fall in love with, home within minutes of your tour. The kitchen is the focal point, and has been updated with newer appliances (all will stay), and the floor plan all revolves around this room. This amazing home features, Hardwood floors up and down and Most of the windows are updated Pella windows. There are 2 Gas Log Fireplaces, a first floor Family Room with built in lockers and high beamed ceilings. A Formal Dining Room, First floor Bedroom, updated and beautiful 2 full baths with artistic tile work, cove moldings. Also there is a fun year round Sun Room with sconce lighting, iron back yard fencing, slate walkways. There is walk up storage in garage attic, claw footed tub/shower in large master bath with built in closet, first floor laundry with laundry shoot from master, newer washer/dryer will stay, very fun finished second floor bonus room above front door works perfectly for a children's play area or workout room.
Don't tour this home if you are looking for a full finished basement, as the partial basement is accessed from the rear yard bilco type door, and ample storage can be found there with the furnace/central air/sump pump etc. Home was purposely designed built in 1939 to not have to deal with a full basement.
The large brick south facing patio is perfect for entertaining and enjoying the outside where you will find an old school bell that will remain with the home, and the new owners will enjoy the flowering trees and low maintenance all year round.
This is truly one of the areas diamonds, and these opportunities don't come around very often to own such a wonderful home.
