THIS VINTAGE CAPE COD IS A PRIZE AND BOASTS QUALITY CONSTRUCTION! This beautiful home offers bedrooms on both the upper level and the main level and is situated on a generous-sized lot (over two-thirds acre) with a circular driveway that can park at least eight cars. Over the years, the home has been expanded. Now there is a large family room off of the kitchen and an expansive two-car garage - with stairs going up to a huge unfinished loft (perfect for a future home office or for abundant storage space). The formal living room features a wood-burning fireplace as well as dental molding. THE KITCHEN IS A TRUE COUNTRY KITCHEN WITH SOME UPDATES. Look up and admire the heavy rustic ceiling beams, turn and gaze upon a raised-brick wood-burning fireplace. There is also a roomy table space area while still leaving plenty of preparation and serving space. The cabinets and stainless steel appliances are updated with a granite countertop. There is also a formal dining room in which to entertain. LEVEL BY LEVEL: Upper Level has primary bedroom plus additional bedroom and a full bath. Main Level has foyer, living room (with the 2nd wood-burning fireplace}, dining room, kitchen, family room, a full bathroom, and two more bedrooms.

The backyard has a screened porch and deck and two storage sheds. AMENITIES include lots of restaurants, shopping, and community & recreational opportunities nearby.

YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED! ----- A FINAL REFLECTIVE NOTE ON THIS HOME: Buyers often ask me to let them know when I get a listing in the original section of Williamsburg Village - built in the early-to-mid 1950s - and constructed by Lambourne (who used brick-and-block construction, high-quality hardwood floors, and multiple fireplaces). Here's your opportunity!
