About this home
Single Family · Built 1952
Charming and well-loved Cape Cod ready for its next chapter! This is a fantastic starter home offering great bones and endless potential for a buyer looking to add their personal touch. The main level features a spacious living room with carpet (hardwood floors underneath), an eat-in kitchen with vinyl flooring, two bedrooms with hardwood floors and generous closet space, and a full bath. Upstairs, you'll find a cozy loft-style third bedroom with carpet, perfect for a private retreat, office, or flex space. The unfinished basement provides ample opportunity for future living space, storage, or customization. All kitchen appliances stay, along with the washer and dryer in the basement-making this home even more move-in ready. This home has been well cared for by the same owner since 1978 and includes several important updates: house roof (2021), garage roof (approx. 7 years old), furnace (2016), A/C circuit board (2016), and all new vinyl windows, along with the front door, storm door, and back door replaced in 2013. The property also features a fenced yard and a 2.5-car garage with a new garage door opener. Priced appropriately to reflect cosmetic updates needed, this is a wonderful opportunity to make it your own while building equity. A truly special home that has been cherished for decades-don't miss your chance to continue its story!
