Affordable doesn't mean ordinary! This charming Cape Cod is packed with character, warmth, and opportunity. From the moment you arrive, you'll appreciate the inviting curb appeal and welcoming feel of this timeless home. Inside, you'll find gorgeous refinished hardwood floors throughout most of the main level, a spacious living room anchored by a cozy wood-burning fireplace, an updated bathroom, and a bright kitchen with all appliances included. The finished upper level offers two additional "bedrooms" with incredible potential for a future primary suite, home office, or flex space. While the upper level is not currently served by a permanent heat source, a mini-split would make an excellent future upgrade for comfortable year-round use. The expansive lower level already features vinyl flooring and painted walls, providing excellent additional living space with room to personalize. All of this & step outside to enjoy the charming three-season porch and fully fenced backyard!!
