This home is priced to sell and the sellers are motivated! An excellent starter home or for those looking to downsize. Warm, inviting cape with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms with an additional room conducive to an office with direct access to the screened seasonal porch or it could be used as a nursery. Spacious eat-in kitchen opening to dining/family room. Owners removed carpet only to find original wide plank pine floors on the stairs, upstairs hall and bedrooms ~ a little TLC would make these a feature of this home! There is a full basement with built in storage shelves, laundry, or finish as you see fit! The home has wooded area across the street and abuts conservation land on two sides. The backyard has a deck for grilling-n-chilling, an above ground pool, fruit trees, and ample space for you to create an outdoor oasis! New 4 bedroom septic system installed in 2010. Solar installed March, 2016, great savings! Come see the potential of this cape ~ at this price, it simply won't last!
