About this home

This charming 3 Bedroom, 1 Bath Cape Cod style home has been cared for by one family for over 40 years and is ready for new owners. Situated on a 0.43 acre corner lot, there is plenty of room for all types of outdoor activities. The property is well suited for RV and/or boat owners as there are additional parking areas on either side of the home. In 2004, the curb appeal of this classic Cape was enhanced by the re-siding of the home, the installation of Andersen windows and the addition of a farmer's porch and mudroom. The kitchen was updated in 2010 and the roof was re-shingled in 2015. The first floor features a living room area with cathedral ceiling, a kitchen/dining room area, two bedrooms, and a full bath. The second floor provides an additional bedroom with a loft area that can be used as an office. The oversized garage includes two car bays and a full second floor providing ample space for a workshop. This well-loved home awaits a new generation of memories.
