This cape is deceiving from the exterior as the interior has close to 2000 sq feet and is set on over 1 1/4 acre of land that runs deep and backs up to a wooded area and a small creek giving it a park like setting. Updates are needed throughout the...
interior. Many of the neighborhood homes are quite large and updated.
