A WEE BIT O’COUNTRY IN THE MIDDLE OF TOWN! Be sure to see this painstakingly restored Cape Cod cottage. Original hardwood floors gleam as you step inside the charming foyer. An arched doorway frames the sunny and spacious living room. The dining room and screened-in porch overlook the wooded back yard creating a relaxing mealtime experience. A playful breakfast nook and turquoise metal cabinets lend a retro vibe in the eat-in kitchen. Three bright and cheery garret bedrooms and an adorable bath with pastel floor tiles occupy the second floor. There is plenty of space in the walk-out lower level for storage, hobbies, crafting, and working out. The detached double garage is constructed over a walk-out lower level that was used as a horse stable by the original owner! Don’t miss the opportunity to tour this one of a kind property today! Improvements by local contractors include: electrical updating by Ray Carr; plaster work by Loren Finney; plumbing and HVAC by LD Mechanicals; hardwood floors restored by Randy Madlem; and roof shingles (tear off) by Drake Roofing.
