ADORABLE AND AFFORDABLE ! Nestled in the heart of historic Merrimacport & mere minutes from Downtown Amesbury, this move-in-ready bungalow boasts an array of super-smart updates including: a sparkling new kitchen, remodeled 4-piece bath, freshly painted walls, refinished floors...and yes,Central Air! This Cozy Cape has a TON of CHARM, makes for a great condo alternative & even provides choices for those seeking single-level living options. In addition to the oh-so lovely kitchen this home's 1st floor offers: the main full bath, stackable laundry, a bright n sunny den/dining area AND, a spacious family room that could serve as a bedroom. Up on the second floor you'll find the Master & 2nd BRs as well as a convenient 1/2 bath! This cutie patootie is snuggled back from the main roads but is still commuter friendly, as many highway routes are just a few miles away. So if you're looking for a fun, move-in-ready abode (w/ some river views!) this could be the one!
