About this home

Beautiful custom-built 3BR/2BA Cape Cod home with a 1st floor Master Bedroom Suite in a tranquil non-development setting in Bear. This home has been meticulously maintained by the original owners and is only 18 years old. It sits on a large 0.66 acre lot with no HOA fees or restrictions and backs to a small private pond. Tons of parking space for all your vehicles in the expansive driveway - complete with a turn-around in front of the house. Impressive curb appeal with the long driveway and manicured front beds. As you approach the home you'll immediately notice the over-sized 40' x 6' front porch where you can relax and enjoy quiet evening sunsets. The home boasts over 2000 sq ft of living space, warm wood accents, and lots of natural light. There's a stunning eat-in kitchen with 42 inch cherry cabinets, a striking stamped copper back splash, an island, pantry cabinets and hardwood floors. The kitchen flows into a spacious dining room addition with hardwood floors where you can comfortably host holiday get-togethers and entertain guests. The kitchen is flanked by a large comfortable living room on one side and an updated Master Bedroom Suite on the other. The Master BR features a convenient walk-in closet/laundry and a new designer bath with tile floors, tiled accent wall and shower surround, and an upgraded double vanity. Upstairs you'll enjoy 2 more sizable bedrooms with large closets and dormers for added natural light, and a 2nd full bath. The crawl space is paved and walkable and provides convenient access to the HVAC and newer hot water heater. During warmer weather you can enjoy the 3-season porch that overlooks the wraparound deck and fenced back yard as well as the retractable awning. There are also 2 convenient outbuildings for storage. The 32' x 12' shed has a reinforced floor and is currently being used as a 1-car garage, and there are 2 more storage bays in the heated rear storage building. Great for a hobbyist or small business owner. You truly have to see this home to appreciate all it has to offer! Make this your new home today!
