Quality and location describe this amazing Contemporary Cape that has been newly rebuilt and expanded by a local developer with an eye for today’s buyer. An astonishing main level has all the space to entertain with an open concept that cannot be matched. A fireplaced living room, desirable bedroom/office, and showcase kitchen with expansive island and popular stainless steel appliances including a 6-burner range with hood is a chef’s dream. Relax in the fireplaced family room with French doors leading to a mahogany deck overlooking an incredible backyard. The second and third floors have large en-suite bedrooms including the breathtaking master suite with a lovely mahogany balcony. The finished lower level features a recreation room, mudroom with cubbies and plenty of unfinished storage sections. The original home was rebuilt from the foundation up with the addition all newly constructed. This popular Prospect Hill neighborhood provides easy access to town center and nearby amenities
