Having been loved and meticulously cared for by the same family for 57 years, this charming 1,310 sf 2 bed, 1 bath Cape is ready to welcome its next stewards. The 1st floor features a living room, bedroom, full bath, dining room, kitchen and 3 season mud room. While there is one 300+/- sf bedroom upstairs, the 2 daughters remember it fondly as the “bedrooms” they grew up in before they left the nest. The unheated basement bonus room served multiple purposes over the years and is ready to be used however you like. Recent updates include freshly painted walls and kitchen cabinets and refinished hardwood floors in the hallway and dining room. While you may never want to leave your backyard oasis with its cooing mourning doves and brightly colored songbirds, you are surprisingly only about a mile from the shops and restaurants Downtown and less than 2 miles from the Oak Grove T station.
