Read the full listing description
On a quiet cul-du-sac, yet walking distance from the flag pole and shopping, is a vintage cape that has been recently updated and remodeled. This is a 4BR, 3Bath home and is in impeccable condition. The main floor has a gorgeous living room with a fireplace and sliders to a bright 3 season sunroom. There is a 4th bedroom/dining room and a 'sitting room' which can be interchanged as desired. The current 'sitting room' has sliders to a large two-tiered beautiful deck with a matching white picket fence. This arrangement begins to provide the comfort desirable in a home. There is a completely modern kitchen with all new stainless appliances with a double farmers sink and floor to ceiling cabinetry and access to the laundry room. There is a large main level bedroom with an adjacent full bath which can easily be used as a primary bedroom as there is an additional full tiled bath on the main floor. The upper level consists of two very large bedrooms both can be used as a primary. The full bath has a skylight as does one of the bedrooms with a deep walk-in-closet and walk out balcony. The entire home was recently fitted with Pella double paned windows and doors, a new roof and newly painted and matched with the shed. There is an unfinished basement which had been used as a studio and has a full mirrored wall.
