The property was previously under contract (an offer was accepted), but the deal fell through for a reason not caused by the seller. Offered for the first time since its original construction, this well-loved home is an opportunity knocking! Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac, the spacious Cape Cod layout features 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths, with a family room just off the kitchen—perfect for everyday living and entertaining. Recent updates include a new boiler and oil tank, replacement windows, and a 2012 roof, providing a solid foundation for your vision. Additional highlights include a detached oversized one-car garage and a fenced yard ideal for outdoor enjoyment.There is a limited number of Cape Cod style homes in this neighborhood and are rarely offered for sale. The prime location puts you within walking distance to shopping, just steps from parks and local points of interest, and offers easy access to major highways and multiple commuter options. This home is ready for your imagination and hard work to restore it to its full glory. Property is being sold AS IS.
