First floor bedroom and full bathroom - updated with all new fixtures. The kitchen is what dreams are made of, with all new stainless steel appliances, marble counters, and a marble backsplash- plus room for a table! Upstairs, you will find the charm of a cape cod, with interesting lines, timeless built-ins, two bedrooms, and a gorgeous new bathroom.
