About this home
ABSOLUTELY CHARMING IN EVERY WAY! A picture perfect country setting surrounds this adorable cape-style 3 bdrm, 2 bath home with a meandering stream edging the property, bordered by conservation land, green fields and including your own sweet pond. Come inside and enjoy the warmth of this fabulous home featuring a spacious (even romantic) dining room for small intimate dinners or large gatherings of friends and family; a well -designed L-shaped kitchen providing plenty of storage and counter space with lots of natural light and room to work! The living room ties the present to the past with wide pine floors, a quaint wood-burning fireplace and fabulous picture window overlooking the pond. The first floor master bedroom enjoys the same views with its own picture window, and an updated full bath is just a step away. An open stairway leads to the second floor - a traditional set up with two quaint and comfy bedrooms and a lovely 3/4 bath, too. The basement has the laundry hookups and plenty of room for storage. A basement system was installed to ensure everything stays nice and dry. A new furnace was just installed, and a new state -approved septic system will be installed prior to closing. There is nothing left to do but move in and start enjoying life and everything Walpole has to offer!
