About This Home

As of March 2026

Set on a level 1.88 acre lot this four-bedroom, three-bath Cape with an attached two-car garage offers the perfect balance of comfort, space, and lifestyle. From here, it's an easy stroll to recreation fields, the Playscape, Memorial School, the Airline Trail, and the scenic cranberry bog, making everyday living as enjoyable as it is convenient. Lovingly and meticulously maintained by the original owners, this home has been a place of warmth, connection, and simple pleasures. Winter days are best spent relaxing by the cozy woodstove, while warmer months invite you outdoors to the expansive deck, ideal for grilling, dining, and entertaining. The owners especially loved settling into Adirondack chairs on the deck, watching birds and local wildlife, sounds of bullfrogs by the koi pond and tree frogs peeping in the woods on summer evenings. The flat, open backyard has been a favorite gathering space-perfect for watching dogs play, enjoying outdoor games, or simply relaxing and taking in the peaceful surroundings. Inside and out, the home reflects years of thoughtful care and pride of ownership. A rare opportunity to own a well-kept, welcoming home in a location that truly enhances everyday life-this is a property where memories are made and the next chapter is ready to begin.
