A must see is this beautiful warm & cozy Cape home you will feel walking in the door. Hardwood floors throughout 1st fl. and a built in cupboard shows the character of this home.

The kitchen has beauty plus function and open to allow flow so the whole family can be together for dinning. Up the large center stairway you will find two very nice bedrooms the primary having a walk in closet. The bathroom is modern and very well done. The basement also has potential for a finished area and half bath already there, plus you still have room for storage and such. Direct access from basement to garage and bulkhead to backyard is very convenient. The yard is fenced, flat and has a great fire pit area for summer nights enjoyment, plus a good size shed for yard stuff. Sellers are contingent upon finding suitable housing.
