A classic New England cape that has been meticulously updated. As you arrive, you walk past an abundance of plantings up to the picturesque rocking chair porch. Relax there, or enter through the glass paned dutch door into the picture perfect home. A well proportioned living room welcomes you, complete with hardwood floors, a bay window and fireplace. Continue to the beautifully renovated kitchen which boasts quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances. The kitchen flows into both the bright, oversized, dining room, and the homey family room, complete with pellet stove and vaulted ceilings. Both of these rooms have sliding glass doors that lead out to the huge, fully fenced flat back yard with two seating areas and tons of space to play and entertain. Back in the home, there is a private ground floor master that is ensuite with dual sinks and quartz countertops. The master also features a generous walk-in windowed closet. Upstairs there are two more spacious bedrooms with built-ins, walk in closets and tons of charm! There is a full bath upstairs. Over the family room is a large bonus room that acts as an office with enough room left over to double as a guest room. The lower level is partially finished and is currently used as a gym on one side and play area/den on the other, great for casual, extra space. In addition, there have been many, many mechanical upgrades including recent central air, furnace and hot water heater.
