Set on 0.24 acres in one of the most sought-after pockets of the University Area, this expanded cape/colonial is ready for its next owner. The backyard is one of the home's best features: sunny, private, and fully fenced, with plenty of room to play. Summer evenings are made for dinner on the deck, watching the sun go down. Inside, the home balances casual, open living with quieter formal spaces. The updated kitchen, with new cabinetry, quartz countertops, and stainless appliances, is the natural gathering spot. It opens to a flexible space that works as a den or a larger informal dining area. A sunny breakfast nook leads through French doors onto the deck. A family room with a wood-burning stove offers a cozy retreat on cooler nights, and a charming dining room also opens to the deck, making indoor-outdoor dining effortless. Upstairs are three bedrooms and two full baths. The primary suite steals the show, with soaring ceilings, a generous walk-in closet, and a bath with double vanities and a jetted soaking tub. A second oversized bedroom offers plenty of space, and the third bedroom is perfect as a home office or guest room. The lower level adds a partially finished space ready for a gym, playroom, or media room, plus an unfinished area for storage. Great location, flexible space, and room to grow. This is the one you've been waiting for.
