Here's a nice buy on a cape home located in the Town of Montgomery. The place has two beds, living room, dining room, full bath and eat-in kitchen on the first floor. The fully finished second floor has one bed, an additional room, and a full bath. The home has a fireplace, hardwood floors, front porch, side deck, detached garage, and a large level backyard.
