This 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath Cape Cod offers original character, a partially finished basement with a gas fireplace and half bath, and a second-floor dormer space currently used as a bedroom. The home has not been updated, but it is clean, well maintained, and ready to be occupied while updates are made over time. The partially finished basement features knotty pine walls, a gas fireplace, and a half bath that is already plumbed for a shower. The first-floor and basement HVAC systems have been regularly serviced through a home warranty program, which has also been used over the years to address repairs and maintenance items as needed. Vinyl replacement windows and a 2014 roof are additional updates. Owned by the same family for more than 60 years, the home remains largely original. Upstairs, the dormer space is currently used as a bedroom, with generous closet and hallway space. The layout also offers the potential to create a larger primary suite. A screened, glass-louvered three-season porch provides a flexible entry space that could serve as a mudroom or additional living area. Outside, the corner lot features a fully fenced front and rear yard, plus a utility building with electric. Originally a garage, the building offers storage now and the possibility of restoring off-street parking.
