She Sells Seashells by the Sea Shore! Absolute gem of a cape less than a half mile walk to the beach. The interior throughout was designed for comfort, functional space, and a terrific first impression. Pleasant and bright kitchen opens to the eat-in area that, in turn, opens to the deck and backyard. There’s a storybook shed and extra lounge area back there, too. The large upstairs bedrooms are charm personified with lovely dormers and hardwood floors. The lower level features a finished playroom with built-ins. New, warm, wood floors upstairs, newly painted throughout, New range, AC condenser along with several other improvements. Close to everything that’s worth talking about, and don’t forget the beach that’s right over there.
