This lovingly maintained Cape Cod-style home, built in 1995, is situated on a .7-acre lot and offers a thoughtful blend of charm and functionality. The entry foyer is both spacious and practical, featuring coat and shoe cubbies, closets, and a nearby powder room. At the heart of the home is a cheerful living room with a vaulted ceiling, a raised Vermont Castings vent-free propane stove, built-in cabinetry, a surround sound system, and access to an outdoor entertainment deck. The adjacent kitchen boasts Cambria quartz countertops, ceiling-height wood cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and a convenient serving counter. A sun-filled dining room with plantation shutters completes the main living area. The first floor also includes two bedrooms: one off the dining room and a primary en-suite bedroom located toward the rear of the home. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms share a full bathroom along the hallway. The lower level is a pleasant surprise, offering 500 square feet of finished living space with large egress windows and a laundry area. Additional features include central vacuum on all floors, a new hot water heater (installed winter 2024), a propane barbecue hookup, and an outdoor shower. The property also includes an unfinished, legal 12'x16' accessory structure and a secondary 12'x14' storage area.
