Lovingly maintained by the same family for decades, this charming 1950s Cape Cod offers timeless character, thoughtful updates, and exciting potential for future expansion. The home features an updated kitchen with classic white cabinetry, granite counters and stainless steel appliances, an updated bath, and newer heating and central air conditioning for year-round comfort. A bright, enclosed sunroom provides the perfect place to relax.
The walk-up attic presents an excellent opportunity to expand the living space, with the potential to create two additional bedrooms and a bath, a home office, or a bonus room (with proper permits). Combining classic Cape Cod charm with modern updates and room to grow, this lovingly cared-for home is ready for its next chapter. A wonderful opportunity to make it your own and enjoy it for years to come.
