Will you be the third owner of this stately brick Cape? Craftsmanship and high quality materials are the hallmark of older homes, and this one is a great example. Arched doorways, the use of glass brick, and all hardwood floors are some of the highlights, along with an open floor plan and generous sized bedrooms. A screened porch, tucked away in back, overlooks a park-like back yard. Discover a secret nook under the eves off the master bedroom. Use the paneled first floor room as a home office, den or bedroom. Host a crowd in the open concept kitchen and dining room. Walk up storage loft above garage, full basement with walk out to yard. Many updates and upgrades: siding, electric, windows and kitchen, yet still retains the charm and style of its vintage.
