Don't let this charming CAPE COD fool you!

This expanded home sits on a RARE OVERSIZED LOT & blends TIMELESS CHARACTER with THOUGHTFUL MODERN UPDATES. Lovingly maintained by the same owner for over 25 YEARS, this home has been the backdrop for countless MEMORIES and MEANINGFUL IMPROVEMENTS-including a MAJOR ADDITION that added generous square footage and a FULLY DUG-OUT BASEMENT. From the moment you arrive, you'll be charmed by the ADORABLE CURB APPEAL. Walk up the front path and step onto the OVERSIZED FRONT PORCH-perfect for morning coffee or evening chats with neighbors. Inside, you'll find a bright, open front room currently used as both a FORMAL DINING & LIVING ROOM. You'll immediately notice the GORGEOUS HARDWOOD FLOORS, FRESH LIGHT-COLORED PAINT, & CHARMING WINDOWS that bathe the space in NATURAL LIGHT. Turn the corner and you'll find a 1st FL BEDROOM with BRAND NEW CARPET-conveniently located next to a FULL BATHROOM with a tub/shower combo (ideal for guests, in-laws, or home office). Continue past the staircase to a FOYER AREA with a SIDE ENTRY DOOR-perfect for bringing in groceries w/ ease.

The kitchen features CUSTOM CABINETRY, CAMBRIA QUARTZ COUNTERTOPS, UNDER-CABINET LIGHTING, a LARGE ISLAND with a built-in microwave and lots of extra cabinet storage. FRENCH DOORS open to a low-maintenance TREX DECK and a BEAUTIFUL BACKYARD that's ready for entertaining, playing, or simply relaxing under the SHOWSTOPPER MATURE TREE. Enjoy washing dishes while gazing at that view! The kitchen flows seamlessly into the FAMILY ROOM with a GAS FIREPLACE, perfect for cozy evenings. Upstairs you'll find 3 SPACIOUS BEDROOMS, including a MASTER SUITE with WALK-IN "HIS AND HERS" CLOSETS and a LARGE BATHROOM featuring a SEPARATE SHOWER AND TUB.

There's plenty of space for ENTERTAINING, along with OVERSIZED CLOSETS for storage and a BONUS ROOM that's perfect for a HOME OFFICE, GUEST ROOM, or PLAYROOM. Thanks to the LARGE ADDITION put on the home, the basement now extends the full length of the house - providing an EXPANDED UNFINISHED AREA. This space houses the MAJOR MECHANICALS, an ADDITIONAL UTILITY SINK, and offers an ABUNDANCE OF STORAGE. With so much extra square footage, the possibilities are endless - FINISH IT OFF or transform it into your DREAM WORKSHOP.
