Welcome home to this stunning Cape Cod nestled on nearly 2 acres of peaceful country landscape in Richmond. From the moment you arrive, the charm and character of this property make a lasting impression — and the features inside will seal the deal. The main floor primary suite offers the convenience and privacy today's buyers are looking for, complete with its own bath and plenty of space to unwind after a long day. The thoughtfully designed floor plan flows beautifully, with a cozy fireplace in the dining room that sets the perfect tone for everyday and entertaining alike. Upstairs, a spacious bonus room offers endless flexibility — home office, playroom, guest space, you name it. The full unfinished basement is a blank canvas just waiting for your vision — whether you want a rec room, home gym, additional living space, or simply massive storage, the potential here is wide open. Step outside to your screened-in deck and breathe in the fresh country air — whether it's morning coffee or an evening wind-down, this space is made for it. The attached 3-car garage provides ample room for vehicles, storage, and hobbies. And the features that really set this home apart? Geothermal heating and energy-efficient comfort year-round at a fraction of typical utility costs — plus dual hot water tanks mean you'll never run short. These are the kinds of smart, long-term investments that make this home truly special.
