Storybook charm is an understatement for this darling cape cod nestled in one of the best neighborhoods around! This stylized home is absolute perfection at every turn. The first floor has a new stunning kitchen that opens to the dining room. From there you have the lovely living room that's flooded with light from the double exposure and oversized windows. The gorgeous room is spacious, yet still feels cozy with the wood burning fireplace. The pretty powder room was just renovated with marble flooring. The mudroom leads you to the two car attached garage. The second level features 3 well appointed bedrooms and one updated bathroom. The lower level features a rec room room area, a play space, a laundry room and a bedroom or office space with an additional full bathroom. The home sits on a corner lot so you get the natural light from every exposure PLUS you get the bonus of a huge private fenced-in backyard. One block to the summer concerts and year round fun at Clarkson Park! Easy walk to award winning schools, downtown Northfield, Starbucks, shopping and restaurants. This home checks all the boxes and will impress your most discerning buyer.
