Don't miss this opportunity! Perfect home for first time buyers or someone looking to downsize. Great condo alternative. Listed by the town as a Cape/Ranch with 1543 square feet, it offers one floor living with opportunity for expansion. Built by well known local architect of the time Joseph Kane. Enter the foyer and notice the refinished HW that continue throughout the home. Lovely details include leaded glass windows and arched doorways. The charm of this home continues into the large living room with lots of windows, a wood burning FP plus a wall of built-ins. The dining room has a bay window, original corner hutch plus shiplapped walls below the chairail. The vintage kitchen retains its mid century character with white cabinets in pristine condition. The eating area has a cozy builtin table with bench seating. Down the hall is a convenient half bath for guests. Off the hallway is access to a partially covered patio and mostly fenced yard. The spacious master bedroom has a walkin closet and access to a Jack & Jill bath. The bath also connects to the 2nd bedroom. There is a convenient cedar closet on the main floor. The walkup attic is huge and open to possibilities. The large basement has ample space for storage and includes a newer high efficiency boiler (owner has converted to gas), 200 amp electrical plus added A/C. Enjoy an attached garage and a double wide driveway for added parking. This wonderful home has a repainted inside and out. Just pack your bags and move in!
