Timeless features and unparalleled craftsmanship meet tasteful upgrades in this four bedroom, two bathroom Cape Cod on a picturesque 1.23 acre lot. Through the front door, the spacious living room greets you with beautifully-maintained, original hardwood floors that flow through the dining room and into the two main-floor bedrooms. A picture window floods the living room with light, while the brick-front fireplace offers the perfect place to cozy up on a brisk winter evening. An arched doorway leads into the dining room, perfect for both everyday meals and hosting gatherings. Tucked down the hallway are two large bedrooms with hardwood floors and plentiful closet space, plus a modern full bathroom, which offer the desirable convenience of first-floor living! The heart of the home is the spacious, eat-in kitchen, which offers abundant counter space, well-maintained, solid wood cabinets with copper handles, and a space for first-floor laundry. Walk out to the side porch overlooking the property, the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee from a rocking chair, or to the cozy sun-porch, which is flooded with light from three walls of casement windows. Upstairs, the first bedroom offers an oversized closet, recessed lighting, and a cozy nook that would make an ideal space to work-from-home or curl up with a good book. The second bedroom features fresh carpet, recessed lighting, and additional storage in the easily-accessible crawlspaces. A full bathroom with modern finishes completes this floor. Downstairs, the unfinished basement offers access to the major systems of the home and features a sump pump, storage space, and a stairway that walks out to the backyard via Bilco doors. The oversized, detached two-car garage offers covered parking, ideal for the winter months, as well as additional space for a workshop or storage. Outside, the relaxing, tree-lined backyard features a brick patio, lush green grass, and plenty of space for summer barbecues and get-togethers! Plus, this property includes the adjacent open field, ready for soccer games, playing ball with your furry friends, or just enjoying the added tranquility and privacy that a bit of extra land offers. The massive pole barn is ready for your creativity -- whether you dream of turning it into an outdoor gym, “mancave,” or she-shed, simply storing farm equipment, or creating a run-in shed, the possibilities are endless! Additional upgrades and features include: new vinyl siding on house and garage (2020/2021), new roof, gutters, and downspouts on house and garage (2020), new GE dishwasher (2021) , new carpeting in upstairs bedroom (2021), freshly painted interior walls (2020), public water and sewer connections (2014), Andersen Woodwright 400 Series windows, and cedar-lined closets. Schedule your tour today and make this Townsend Cape Cod your forever home!
