Welcome to 270 Helmar Ct, a delightful 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom Cape Cod style home that perfectly blends classic character with modern peace of mind. Step inside to find natural hardwood floors that flow through the main living area and bedrooms, offering a warm and timeless feel. The kitchen was updated in 2019, making it ready for your first home-cooked meal.
The heavy lifting has already been done for you: a new driveway, sidewalks, and patio along with a new well pump, garage door, and gutters were installed in 2019, followed by a critical main sewer drain update in 2022.
Outside, enjoy a fully fenced-in backyard that is perfect for pets or summer gatherings and a convenient 1-car detached garage. Whether you're a first-time buyer or looking to downsize into something manageable and modern, this home is truly 'turn-key.'
