Set on over half an acre in the heart of East Dorset Village, this newly renovated three-bedroom, two-bath bungalow blends modern upgrades with cozy charm and even includes a peaceful brook running through the property. Recent upgrades include completely new kitchen and bathrooms and fresh interior paint throughout. The open-concept layout creates a bright, connected space that’s perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. Hardwood floors add character and charm. The main level also features an inviting mudroom/laundry room, bedroom, and full bath. A bonus office/sunroom offers the flexibility to work from home or to create a quiet retreat. The primary suite, complete with walk-in closet and ensuite bathroom, is located on the second floor, along with a third bedroom. The oversized detached two-car garage has new overhead doors and electric openers, a solid concrete floor, and plenty of extra space for storage, gear, or hobbies. Exterior improvements include updated roofing and new retaining wall. Low-maintenance vinyl siding makes exterior upkeep simple. Step outside to enjoy the covered porch overlooking the yard and gentle brook - a perfect place to relax and unwind.
