Step inside and say “WOW!” An open floorplan greets you at the door and draws you in to this warm and welcoming charmer. Classic cape style combines with comfortable modern living, thoughtfully designed and tastefully updated. The heart of the home is the chef’s kitchen enhanced with a 6-burner Viking gas stove, butcher block counter tops, large island, walk-in pantry/wet bar and bead board ceiling. Built with an eye to casual living, the large dining room is open to the kitchen and accented by a handsome wood burning stove which can heat the entire house! Gleaming hardwood floors flow throughout the main floor uniting the rooms. Flexibility is the name of the game here: a main floor full bath and walk-in closet easily create a first floor bedroom set up or flex as an office and/or living room. Painted hardwood floors flow throughout the second floor between two private bedrooms with a second full bath. More? The walkout lower level is finished with laundry room and half-bath. Just in time for summer, enjoy the fenced, level lawn, perennial gardens and multi-level decks. Ahh...restore the calm in your life! Privately set yet minutes to shopping, restaurants, schools and commuter corridors.
