The heart of the home is the spacious, updated kitchen featuring a center island, abundant counter top space, and generous cabinetry, and even a pantry! The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining room and the the living room, creating an open and inviting atmosphere where family and guests can easily gather. Laminate flooring throughout the first floor provides durability and a clean, cohesive look. Convenience is key with a practical mudroom entry and first-floor laundry. The full bathroom on the main level features a relaxing soaking tub with jets, perfect for unwinding after a long day. Upstairs, you'll find three comfortable bedrooms with attractive wood flooring, along with a half bath. The primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet, offering excellent storage and organization. Additional living space awaits in the partially finished basement, which is already prepared for radiant heat, providing exciting possibilities for future expansion. Recent energy-efficient improvements include heat pumps for year-round heating and cooling, as well as added attic insulation to enhance comfort and reduce utility costs. Appliances have all been updated rescently – Microwave, dishwasher, heat pump system, stove, washer, dryer, and refrigerator, and a basement refrigerator and chest freezer. The boiler was also replaced in 2022. Outside, the property offers even more versatility with two outbuildings for storage, along with a charming gazebo that creates the perfect setting for outdoor relaxation, or entertaining. Combining functional updates, flexible living space, and attractive outdoor amenities, this property is ready to welcome its next owners home.
Very neat and well-maintained New Englander just a short walk from Downtown. The good-sized living room flows into the dining room and on into the updated kitchen, including modern appliances and an island. Just off the kitchen is a handy bonus room which could be used as a mudroom, a reading nook or an office. The full bath on the first floor has a giant tub with water jets. The laundry room completes the downstairs. Upstairs, three bedrooms and a half-bath open off the landing. The master bedroom has a good-sized walk-in closet. And check out the wood floors! Bedrooms 2 and 3 are bright and airy. The basement is partially finished, but completely dry and has huge potential. Outside, there's a gazebo, as well as two storage sheds in the partially-fenced yard. This cozy gem won't last long.
