Welcome to this amazing cape cod-style, brick home with so much character and amenities all you have to do is move in and call it "HOME"! Walk through the front door and you are welcomed by a large living room with hardwood floors and a gas fireplace. Proceed into a combination dining room/kitchen space renovated in 2005. There is a full view of the backyard and patio from the dining room through the sliding door and windows. The kitchen boasts gas cooking, stainless steel appliances, and ample counter/counter space for a chef of any caliber. Rounding out the main level is a full bathroom with a tub/shower, and 2 nice-sized bedrooms. Upstairs has the very large primary bedroom, another very large bedroom with an updated walk-in closet, and another full bathroom. The basement is unfinished but could easily be finished as it has high ceilings and a work-person area that is already compartmentalized from the rest of the space by sliding doors. The washer/dryer machines will stay with the sale of the home. There is access to the level backyard through the bilco doors. This house has central A/C to keep you nice and cool in the summer, and forced hot air heat with a whole house humidifier, and a gas fireplace to keep you warm in the winter. The backyard boasts an above-ground pool with working equipment, an outdoor fire pit, a separate refinished outdoor fireplace with a pergola for entertaining, a concrete patio with an aluminum canopy with string lights already installed that is included with the sale, and a fish pond with working pump, filter, fountain, fish/frogs, and toads. The 2-car detached garage is oversized (24 L x 26 W) and the driveway is paved to have 6 cars parked or a game of basketball to be had. This house is being sold "As-Is" but has been lovingly maintained by the current owners.
