This 1947 Cape Cod is an extremely well kept vestige of the past. As you step through the front door, you’ll be reminded of what it was like in 1947 with original refinished red oak hardwoods throughout, large fully functioning wood-burning fireplace, original plaster & lathe walls, and picture rail. Through the eat-in kitchen entry you’ll see a renovated kitchen, with granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, and ample cabinet space for all of your culinary needs. SEE ADDITIONAL REMARKS Down the hall is access to the two front bedrooms, sizable for the age, and the amazing spiral staircase leading up to the bonus loft/office space. Walk into the master suite, and you’ll gaze through the arched doorway into the spa-styled master bath, which includes two walk-in closets, Jacuzzi Tub, step-in shower with bench seating and rain-can shower head; as well as two separate mirrored vanities. The best view of the back garden is from the tub! The lot boasts nearly .5 acres of well manicured landscape. The back garden is a rustic peaceful oasis to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The large patio is perfect for entertaining all of your guests, or gather ‘round the fire pit for s’mores and evening cocktails. Come experience this mid-century charm, one of the few homes left in the Midway Woods neighborhood that has been exceptionally maintained, still keeps it’s originality, and hasn’t been marred by flash-in-the-pan fad renovations.
