About This Home

A well-maintained single-story bungalow in the heart of Sandwich. Just a block or two from almost everything you need - restaurants, groceries, shopping and many other services. The 2-bedroom with recently remodeled 1 bathroom home has a 3-season porch that opens to a large living room. In the rear of the home is a family room that could also be used as a dining room. In between the living and family rooms is the kitchen with lots of cabinets and storage spots, with room for a breakfast/lunch table. The master bedroom has a deep closet plus a second one for clothes or linens. A full basement offers lots of storage areas, as well as the laundry hookups. In addition, there is a functioning toilet but no surrounding walls. A new roof was added in June 2023 and there's a several-year-old water heater. The siding is in excellent condition. An extra-deep 1-1/2-car garage offers room for a workshop and/or storage. And a concrete driveway leads to a large concrete patio and a secluded, shaded garden and patio area. The compact backyard is wonderful if you're looking for a very low-maintenance mostly fenced yard. Gives you more time to enjoy all the other amenities of downtown Sandwich. This home will appeal to a wide range of buyers - first-time buyers with a small family, people wishing to downsize to a home requiring minimal maintenance, or to an investor looking to buy a well-maintained home that would make an excellent return as a rental property. So come look before it's gone.
