This charming 1928 Cape features spacious rooms, high ceilings, and beautiful hardwood floors throughout the first and second floors, perfect for both comfortable living and entertaining. The thoughtfully landscaped yard offers privacy, with a scenic path leading to a shaded patio and garden. The living room, with its cozy fireplace and French pocket doors, opens to a bright family room with a wall of windows that brings the outdoors in. The kitchen includes granite counters, stainless appliances, newly installed hardwood floor, and leads to an adjoining office. A large dining room, mudroom, and half bath complete the first floor. Upstairs, the master bedroom has 2 walk-in closets and a full bath with a jetted tub. The second and adjoining third bedroom or office share a hall bath. Two finished lower-level rooms provide additional living or play space. With a two-car garage and an ideal location near Brown Field, train stations, and local shops, this home is a true gem.
