Property description
Picture perfect tree-lined street, an easy walk to Jefferson Elementary and Smalley Park and Pool, is the setting for this updated and expanded Cape Cod with over 3,300sf of finished living space! Loaded with curb appeal and charm...this home checks all the boxes! Plus, there is a "must-see" list of improvements including roof, siding, windows, HVAC, whole home generator...just too much to list here! Beautiful hardwood flooring thruout the first and second levels creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere with multiple gathering spaces for family fun including a fireside family room, lower-level rec room and spacious outdoor paver patio with firepit. Entertain like a pro in the incredible chef's kitchen with Viking, granite and stainless appliances; seating for five at the island, cozy breakfast nook and open to the family room. A flexible floorplan allows you to reimagine traditional spaces to suit your needs; living room currently functions as a study/school from home space but has the flexibility to be the space you need. The second level offers a generous primary suite with newly created (2015) luxe bath while the additional three bedrooms are spacious with the added charm of dormers and custom closets in two bedrooms. The finished lower level just adds to the overall living space with a rec room, 5th bedroom/office/exercise room. The attached garage is well-outfitted with storage and epoxy floor and leads to a handy "dropzone" while dual laundry rooms are found on both the second floor and basement. The yard is a hidden gem full of perennial landscaping, sprinkler system and extensive paver patio with firepit...WOW! All the expensive maintenance, with a focus on energy efficiency, has been done for you. Nothing to do but move in!
