What a sweet place this is! This Cape Cod located in beautiful Rutherfordton has so much to offer! You can enjoy one level living with a large master suite located on the first floor. The first floor also offers a den with a fireplace, living room with a fireplace, dining room, kitchen and guest bathroom. There are hardwood floors throughout and the kitchen has Italian quartz counter tops. There is also a quaint deck off the kitchen. Upstairs are 2 nice size bedrooms and a full bath. The basement has unlimited potential. This area could make a great in-law suite as there is a kitchen, bedroom and bath in place. Other potential uses might be a fun family bonus area, or workshop! An added bonus with this home is the single detached garage with the finished area above the carport on the side. This area has electricity but no HVAC. This quaint space would make an incredible studio, office, or he/she shed! All this situated on .52 acre in a great location! New roof was installed in 2019!
