Charming Saltbox Home with Timeless Character and Exceptional Care
This adorable cedar-shingled Saltbox home has been lovingly maintained by its original owner and showcases quality craftsmanship throughout. Beautiful wood shutters, custom flooring, and meticulously landscaped cobblestone pathways create outstanding curb appeal and a warm welcome.
Inside, the first floor features hardwood flooring throughout and a spacious great room highlighted by a cozy stone fireplace, a large built-in bookcase, and abundant natural light from a stunning picture window. There are three sets of glass doors adding extra natural light throughout the home. The open-concept layout flows seamlessly from the great room into the dining area, creating an ideal space for everyday living and entertaining.
The updated kitchen offers modern convenience with a new oven and dishwasher, under-cabinet lighting, and a separate pantry for additional storage.
Upstairs, you'll find two oversized bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a versatile office or nursery. A large deck spans the entire rear of the home, providing easy access from both the dining room and the primary suite and offering the perfect space for outdoor relaxation and gatherings.
Additional highlights include a generously sized laundry room with ample storage potential and enough space for a bench, lockers, or other organizational features.
This thoughtfully cared-for home combines classic charm, functional living spaces, and quality updates in a truly inviting setting.
