This 3-bedroom brick Cape Cod exudes true 1950s period character while being tastefully updated. Before entering, you’ll notice the curb appeal with manicured landscaping and vibrant flowerbeds. Upon entry, you’re greeted by an open living room with natural light, featuring updated flooring and fresh neutral paint. Adjacent to the living room is a stunning kitchen with granite counters, a tile backsplash, a built-in microwave, and stainless steel appliances. The first-floor bathroom has been modernized with a custom bath tile surround, new vanity, updated lighting, fresh flooring, and fresh paint. Both first-floor bedrooms boast fresh neutral paint and updated flooring. The current owners have upgraded the central air, hot water heater, and electrical system, replaced windows, and added insulation for improved efficiency. This home is exceptionally well-maintained, and it shows! A potential fourth bedroom on the second floor could easily be finished. Step outside to the rear yard, where you’ll find a 12x24 concrete patio installed by the seller. The yard feels spacious for the price. A garage with electricity and a newer roof completes the tour. This home has it all: low taxes, modern updates, a great location, and more. Don’t let this one slip away! Call to schedule your private showing today!
