Our Take
196 Figlar Avenue is a three-bedroom Cape with one full and one half bath, a front-porch entry, and an open main-level layout. Exposed brick, hardwood floors, black granite kitchen countertops, and a built-in open bar shape the central living spaces. A rear sunroom looks onto the fenced backyard and opens to a deck. The finished lower level adds a fireplace and built-ins, while updates include new windows, natural-gas connection, and a new natural-gas hot-water heater.
