Fantastic brick Cape Cod, ideally situated within walking distance of all that WFB has to offer! Charm and character throughout, including hardwood floors, FP, custom built-ins, and crown molding. A bay window in the eat-in kitchen fills the space with natural light and is open to a sweet sunroom, perfect for use as a home office or sitting room. The main floor is completed by two comfortable bedrooms -- one with an attached half bath -- and a full hallway bathroom. The upper level offers two generously sized bedrooms, an additional half bath, and ample storage space, all enhanced by newly installed carpet. The finished LL provides excellent flexible living space and has been freshly painted and carpeted. Completing this outstanding package is a newer 2.5-car garage and a private patio.
