This 3 bedroom Cape Cod style home sits on a gorgeous lot with perennial gardens that burst into color from spring through fall and attract butterflies, bees, and all the good things.
The current owners have done the smart stuff, too: new copper and PEX water lines, new HVAC with whole-house humidifier (2024), updated appliances including an induction range, custom window shades, fresh paint, Google Nest smoke alarms and doorbell, and a beautifully designed backyard patio.
And then there’s the oversized two-car garage—because in a house this charming, it’s nice when practicality shows up looking this good.
Classic architecture. Thoughtful updates. Gardens that are genuinely magical. A house with presence, personality, and style.
