Beautifully renovated from top to bottom, this exceptional 3-bedroom, 2-bath Cape seamlessly blends timeless New England charm with modern style and thoughtful design. Renovated just a few years ago, the home showcases hardwood floors throughout, abundant natural light, and a beautifully appointed kitchen featuring custom maple cabinetry, quartzite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. The versatile floor plan offers the convenience of a first-floor bedroom and full bath, while the second level boasts a spacious primary suite complete with a private full bath and generous walk-in closet, along with an additional oversized bedroom featuring its own walk-in closet. The finished walkout lower level expands the living space and opens to a covered porch overlooking the spacious backyard—an ideal setting for relaxing or entertaining. Additional highlights include central air, an attached garage, and an unbeatable location just a short stroll to Downtown Bristol, the waterfront, Roger Williams University, the new high school, local shops, restaurants, and everything this vibrant coastal community has to offer.
