On a wide, quiet tree-lined street in Brookside Forest sits this delightfully well-maintained Cape Cod home!

Off the living area, natural light floods through two skylights into the spacious main level owner’s retreat offering double closets, built-in and an updated ensuite bathroom with a tiled shower and ceramic tile floor. The updated kitchen offers a gas range, generous counter space, and a dedicated pantry with ample storage. An adjacent mudroom provides storage space and egress to the front and rear yards.
