Brimming with charm, this 3-bedroom Cape Cod feels like home the minute you step onto the impressive covered front porch, perfect for morning coffee or sharing evening conversations. Inside, arched doorways, abundant natural light, and original hardwood floors create a warm, inviting flow, while vintage glass doorknobs and light fixtures add a touch of history. The recently remodeled kitchen and bathrooms blend modern convenience with classic character, while the upstairs offers a versatile office or play area alongside the third bedroom. A full basement provides plenty of storage, extra living space, and a convenient extra shower and sink. Situated on a spacious half-acre lot, the fully-fenced back yard is the perfect backdrop for outdoor gatherings, play space for kids and pets, or simply relaxing in the peace of your own retreat. Apple, pear, and peach trees, blackberry and raspberry bushes, a lush garden, a storage shed, and a chicken coop are already in place and ready for you to enjoy! Just a short drive away from Mass Ave, Fountain Square, downtown nightlife and sporting events. Showings begin Monday, Sept. 8th.
