Do you like to entertain? Well then, this is the perfect home for you! The view from the tree lined, New England country road doesn't show the accurate size of this open concept Cape Cod style. The home is set on a private lot that is perfect for those back yard barbecues on your large deck and separate patio while enjoying a game of corn hole toss! As you enter the home, you will notice the open concept right away. The updated cherry cabinets, granite counters, peninsula bar and stainless steel appliances are perfectly positioned in the home as it opens to the large family room and dining room. If you're looking to escape for a little peace and quiet, all you need to do is close the glass door to the formal living room which by the way, is spacious enough to handle your gatherings all while you are admiring your fire in the fireplace. The first floor finishes off with a first floor master bedroom and a full bathroom with a jetted tub. Near schools, parks and the YMCA.
