An incredible opportunity awaits in this magnificent expanded, dormered Cape, offering just over 1,500 square feet of living space, beautiful curb appeal, a rear extension, and an attached one-car garage! Set in a mid-block location, this four-bedroom, two-bath home delivers spacious interiors, beautiful finishes, and outstanding versatility. The fully dormered second floor provides full ceiling height throughout both upstairs bedrooms! A crisp white front facade with navy shutters creates a welcoming first impression, complemented by white PVC privacy fencing in the front and vinyl siding along the remaining exterior. An extended concrete driveway offers abundant off-street parking, while a concrete walkway and front steps with wrought-iron railings lead to the entry. Outside, white PVC fencing encloses the backyard, where a spacious concrete patio sets the stage for entertaining, outdoor dining, and relaxing. Step inside to an inviting open floor plan featuring gorgeous hardwood floors, custom molding, and abundant natural light. The formal living room flows seamlessly into the eat-in kitchen, where a classic lantern-style pendant and crown molding beautifully define the dining area. At the heart of the home, the sun-filled kitchen showcases white raised-panel cabinetry with crown molding and glass-front displays, sparkling quartz countertops, a classic subway tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances, including a French-door refrigerator. A stainless steel sink beneath the window, generous peninsula, recessed lighting, and gleaming hardwood floors complete this beautifully connected space. The kitchen opens to the rear extension, offering exceptional flexibility as an additional dining area or den. Tile flooring, a bay window, and French doors leading to the backyard create an inviting connection to the outdoors. A laundry closet with a washer and dryer adds everyday convenience. Two spacious first-floor bedrooms feature beautiful hardwood floors and walk-in closets. A spa-inspired hallway bathroom with a walk-in shower completes the main level. Upstairs, the fully dormered layout makes an impressive difference, providing full-height ceilings in both additional spacious bedrooms, each featuring hardwood floors and a ceiling fan. The second full bathroom includes a tub and shower combination and a new blue vanity. The basement is another standout, featuring vinyl plank flooring, high ceilings, recessed lighting, multiple windows, storage closets, and a utility sink—offering exceptional space for storage and a variety of uses. Additional highlights include an approximately four-year-old architectural shingle roof, an approximately two-year-old oil tank, and newly replaced glass sashes in 21 of the home’s 25 windows. With its expanded layout, fully dormered upper level, inviting backyard, and beautiful interior details, this Cape is an opportunity you won’t want to miss!
