Property Description

Adorable Cape Cod offering all the charm of yesteryear with the modern updates today's buyers love! The beautifully redesigned kitchen features quartz countertops, newer shaker-style cabinetry with exceptional storage, a farmhouse sink, stylish fixtures, an instant hot water tap, and a charming garden window. Built-in cabinetry throughout the home adds both functionality and timeless character. The spacious country kitchen overlooks the living room, which could also serve as a formal dining room. French doors open to a cozy family room featuring gas log stove, creating the perfect gathering space. Large picture windows in the family room, kitchen, and office provide panoramic views of the picturesque, fenced backyard. The private office offers its own entrance and pocket doors, making it ideal for working from home or meeting clients. Both bathrooms have been tastefully updated, and beautiful hardwood floors run throughout the home. The basement provides ample space for storage and recreation and includes updated drain tile for added peace of mind. Newer windows, appliances, and mechanical systems reflect the exceptional care and maintenance this home has received over the years. An additional lot offers outstanding potential for future expansion or the opportunity to subdivide and build. Surrounded by towering mature trees, the backyard has a peaceful, park-like setting. Best of all, the home is located just down the street from beautiful Lord's Park, where you can enjoy walking trails, gardens, and year-round recreation.
