Welcome to this charming Cape Cod style home featuring a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout. Step inside to discover a spacious living room adorned with beautiful hardwood flooring, neutral gray walls, crisp white trim, and a classic brick fireplace with a white painted wood mantel serving as the room's focal point. Natural light floods the space through generous windows, creating a bright and airy ambiance. The home flows seamlessly into a dining area featuring the same hardwood floors, elegant arched doorways, and a charming built-in corner cabinet with glass display shelving painted in white. The functional kitchen showcases warm oak cabinetry, laminate countertops with granite-style patterning, a white subway tile backsplash, and a stainless steel double-basin sink positioned beneath a window overlooking the yard. Black appliances including a refrigerator and range complement the space. A convenient pass-through window connects the kitchen to the dining area. The main level bedrooms continue the cohesive design with gray walls, white trim, and hardwood flooring that shows character and patina. The updated bathroom features a modern white vanity with clean lines, contemporary fixtures, and wood-look flooring. The upper level offers additional living space with carpeted floors, sloped ceilings creating cozy nooks, built-in closet storage, and painted horizontal plank accent walls in a soothing gray tone. Outside, the property boasts a covered front porch with decorative wrought iron supports, light blue-gray vinyl siding, a prominent brick chimney, and a practical breezeway connecting to a detached garage. The spacious yard offers plenty of outdoor enjoyment potential.
