Step into this fabulous Cape Cod-style gem that’s bursting with personality and polished upgrades! With 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 beautifully updated baths, and a sun-drenched all-season room, there's plenty of space to spread out, relax, and enjoy life. The kitchen features rich wood cabinetry, stainless appliances, and a sleek glass tile backsplash that adds just the right amount of sparkle. The first floor bathroom has a jacuzzi tub, because who doesn’t deserve a spa day at home? The all-season room—a true stunner! Soaring ceilings, skylights, a cozy gas fireplace, and built-in shelving make this space feel both grand and inviting. Slide open the glass doors and step out to your very own backyard oasis—complete with a patio, lush landscaping, and a charming shed perfect for gardening, storage, or your next Pinterest project.

All three bedrooms boast gleaming hardwood floors, with the upstairs featuring two lovely bedrooms and a second full bath. Bonus: the doors upstairs? They're solid wood originals salvaged from Princeton University! The first floor bedroom can also make a perfect home office. Downstairs, a huge finished basement gives you even more space to play, whether it's movie nights, a home gym, or game room. A Murphy bed completes this space. There’s also tons of storage, a laundry area, and a workshop.
