Property Description
Nestled on 1.5 lush, park-like acres, this charming 1937 Cape Cod offers timeless character, extensive structural and mechanical updates (see below) and flexibility in a peaceful natural setting complete with mature trees and a small stream. The expansive lot offers potential for a future homesite or opportunity to subdivide.
Inside: 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths with a versatile layout featuring 2 bedrooms on the main level and 2 upstairs, including a primary suite with 2 closets. Hidden eave storage throughout the upper level adds incredible functionality and charm.
The home includes original hardwood floors, a large living room with recently renovated chimney and new wood-burning insert, encased in a Tennessee marble fireplace, and an expansive great room/dining area ideal for entertaining. A brand-new sliding glass door opens to a stone-paved courtyard and a level, fenced backyard shaded by mature trees.
The updated kitchen features refreshed cabinetry, new quartz countertops, tile flooring, oversized sink, and stainless appliances including a KitchenAid gas range (2025) and Samsung refrigerator and dishwasher. Additional recent improvements include brand-new tile flooring in the great room/dining area (2026) and new carpet in the primary suite (2026).
The oversized 2-car garage is a rare find, offering abundant workshop space, shelving, cabinetry, and multiple electrical outlets inside garage at front and back.
This home offers the perfect opportunity to enjoy extensive upgrades while still adding your own cosmetic touches and personal style. A rare combination of acreage, charm, updates, and future potential -- all in a serene setting. Schedule your private showing today.
