About this home

Freshly refurbished storybook cape set back on a lovely treelined lot on picturesque Chestnut St. Beautifully refinished hardwood flooring welcomes you into the front foyer and flows nicely into the formal dining room and generously sized living room which is highlighted by a cozy wood burning fireplace. The main level offers an oversized 1/2 bath/laundry combo which has been updated with gorgeous new tile and fixtures. A bright kitchen sits at the back of the home offering granite countertops and window overlooking the wooded backyard. A bonus area with cathedral celling offers a sunny space for a home office, playroom, den or mudroom as it sits between the kitchen and attached garage. The second level features 2 bedrooms with hardwood floors and a completely renovated full bath. Storage options or potential expansion is found in the full basement.
