About This Home

As of October 2025

Located in a serene and picturesque setting, this charming 2-bed, 1.5-bath Cape Cod home offers 1,225 sq ft of living space on a spacious .5-acre lot. The home is a hidden gem—well-maintained, but full of potential for those who appreciate classic charm with a touch of modernization. Step inside and be greeted by a cozy living room with a wood-burning fireplace, perfect for chilly nights, and extra cabinets for convenient storage. The adjacent dining room provides a lovely spot for family meals or entertaining. The kitchen, though compact, offers tan cabinets and the potential to make it your own. The main floor also features a powder room for added convenience. Upstairs, you’ll find two spacious bedrooms, each with plenty of natural light. The updated full bath on the upper level is well-sized and functional, serving the bedrooms with ease. The home also features a full unfinished basement—offering additional storage or potential for expansion. The real highlight of this property is the oversized detached garage—an ideal space for car enthusiasts, hobbyists, or anyone looking for a spacious work area. The large driveway accommodates plenty of cars, providing easy access for guests or projects. The location is where this home truly shines. Surrounded by the stunning White Clay Creek State Park, you’ll enjoy peace and privacy with no neighbors and no HOA. Right across the street, you’ll find a pond perfect for fishing, bike trails, and land for picnicking. Down the road, Paper Mill Park offers even more recreational activities, including basketball, tennis, baseball, and soccer fields. If you love the outdoors, this is your dream location. Plus, the home offers some of the best sunrise views you can imagine! This property is tenant-occupied, so please be aware of the 24-hour notice requirement for showings.
