This home will be on the market in mid-May 2021. Well maintained, energy efficient Cape Cod on a quiet one-way street with good neighbors. The current owners bought the home in 1987 from the original owners, and have kept it in great shape. The two main floors have 1628 square feet of living space, including five large bedrooms, two of which are on the first floor and could be used as den/study/rec rooms. One of the three upstairs bedrooms is 11'9" x 22' and could be divided into two separate bedrooms, for a total of up to six in the house! The large master bedroom has a walk-in closet. The kitchen and dining area were remodeled in 2020 with granite counters; lots of windows and a patio door lead out to a lovely composite deck (with cedar pergola) overlooking the large back yard and the neighborhood treetops. There are nice oak floors throughout on both main levels, and the original interior wood doors and trim look great. The home has been upgraded for extremely low energy usage and bills. The owned (not leased) solar panels on the roof reduce the electric bill to under $500 per year. The natural gas bills run about $700 per year, or less than that if you use the wood pellet stove in the winter. The house is highly insulated (two feet of blown-in insulation in the attic) and has good windows. With the tankless water heater you'll never run out of hot water. Sun-blocking window screens reduce the air conditioning usage. A whole-house attic fan provides cheap cooling on pleasant nights. A 220 volt outlet by the driveway can accommodate an electric car charger. In 2007 this home was the first to be awarded Cheverly "Green Home" certification for its low carbon footprint. The basement has about 900 square feet of finished space, with a large family/rec/exercise room, another room large enough for a bedroom, a half bath, a laundry room, lots of storage, and a walk out door to the back yard, plus a large unfinished workshop/utility room. The back yard extends to Lake Avenue, meaning no neighboring house in back. Over 300 square feet of rich vegetable gardens which could be returned to lawn if you prefer, plus flower gardens and a built-in shed under the deck.
