This charming Cape sits on a large, open corner lot and pairs classic New England character with a layout that's easy to live in and simple to maintain. Completely renovated in 2014, with new second-floor flooring added in 2019, the 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offers 1,064 sq ft of move-in-ready living. The open kitchen and dining area flows into a spacious living room, and the primary bedroom has a custom walk-in closet. A convenient mudroom keeps coats and boots organized through Maine winters, and the covered front porch is perfect for quiet mornings. The generous lot also offers exciting future potential: a detached second unit may be possible starting in 2027, making it a great option for rental income, multigenerational living or a guest suite (verify with the City of Sanford). The home is minutes from downtown Sanford's shops, restaurants and schools. The beaches of Wells and Ogunquit are about 15 minutes away, and Portland and Portsmouth are an easy commute.
