Truly adorable, solid brick cape cod located in OJR School District. Do not hesitate or you will miss your opportunity to own this lovely cape on almost a half-acre lot. The home backs up to school property, making the lot seem huge with tons of privacy. The lovely first floor consists of a large, open eat-in kitchen that can be accessed through the side covered patio. It provides lots of cabinets and counter space along with a built-in dishwasher. Or enter through the main front door directly into the nice size living room featuring a large picture window, providing tons of natural light, and hardwood floors. There are two bedrooms located on this level, both with hardwood floors. One has built-in drawers adding tons of character and charm. Access the second floor via the hardwood stairs located by the front door. Upstairs you will find two adorable bedrooms with plenty of headroom and access to lots of additional storage. The second floor also features two more large storage closets in the hall to the half bath. This area could easily be re-configured to allow a full bath on this level if desired. The large basement was partially finished years ago and includes access to the washer and dryer. Perfect for tons of storage as is or with a little updating could be a fabulous additional space for whatever suits your needs. Possibly a home office (or 2), play area, schoolwork area, or all the above - that seems to be a necessity these days! Outside, enjoy the wide-open space! The partially fenced yard is perfect for keeping the kiddies and/or pups from wandering off. Finally, there is a shed for all your lawn care items. Not your typical cape, large rooms, and tons of the always needed storage.
