Welcome to this charming cape situated on a beautiful corner lot in a sought-after neighborhood. The inviting layout features a breezeway entrance that leads to an eat-in-kitchen, half bath, formal dining room and expansive living room which both offer large front facing windows for lots of natural light + a conveniently located main-level primary bedroom.

The lower level offers approximately 940 SF of semi-finished living area, perfect for a recreation room, den or additional living space, plus a large laundry room, abundant storage, cedar closet, and potential wine cellar. Additional features include vinyl replacement windows, upgraded electrical service, a home generator installed five years ago ($15,000 investment), and efficient gas conversion for heat, hot water, and cooking, all regularly serviced. The sewer line has also been professionally cleaned to the street.
