Experience the lifestyle living in walking distance to the center of town amenities: dining, shopping, the train station, parks, ice cream, town events, farmers market and more! Stroll the adorable neighboring streets and admire all that is special about this location. This quintessential Cape Cod style home feels spacious with a large family room that spans an entire side of the home front-to-back and has a beautiful wood burning fireplace with marble surround! The galley kitchen has tile flooring, stainless steel appliances, white cabinetry and has been updated over the years. It's large enough for an in-kitchen dining nook and is open to the formal dining room with crown molding. The entire house has refinished hardwood flooring. The staircase is un-traditional and swings to the side creating a nice entry and foyer. The glass front portico has beautiful sconces and adds to the inviting entry. Upstairs are 2 larger bedrooms and 1 full bathroom. The backyard has a koi pond, patio, is fully fenced and has many mature plantings. It is surprisingly private within a neighborhood setting. The detached 1 car garage is spacious with a newer garage door and opener. The home has newer gray siding, natural gas heat, city water, city sewer, and one wall unit AC system in the living room. There should be room to add more throughout the house. This charmer has an unbelievable location and is perfect as-is or can be expanded or renovated with ease.
