Come see what they have done. The current owner has transformed this unique cape with a newer kitchen, all new hardwood floors on the first floor and a spectacular new bathroom on the second level, just finished! This home has a wonderful layout, large rooms and a killer backyard. Step from your two car garage to a mudroom/office/sunroom. An open living, dining and kitchen with charm and taste and a fireplace. The deck off the kitchen leads to a wonderful backyard surrounded by conservation land, what neighbors? Yes, the swingset stays and you may be able to inherit the chicken coop and chickens as well! Two good size bedrooms separated by a large foyer round off the level. Upstairs are two great size bedrooms and the new gorgeous bath. The kids room has a secret that would make any childhood special. A large, finished basement for watching movies, playing on rainy days makes this house perfect. Walkout to a patio and the kids can be in and out all day. Come see it.
