Large price adjustment!! Meticulous reproduction Bowed Roof Cape is absolutely beautiful inside and out. Owners lovingly designed and built the home with attention to detail and care. Home was originally designed to have 2 bedrooms, but owners created a large Master Suite with built-ins, plenty of storage and full bath with washer and dryer hookup (could be converted to 2 bedrooms easily). Large Kitchen/Dining Room offers built-ins and a beamed ceiling is great for gatherings. Enclosed 3 season room overlooks the private backyard and connects the home to the oversized garage with work area and wood storage. The lawn and gardens are picture perfect and there is plenty of space for an addition. Great location for commuting (just minutes to Worcester and multiple major routes). Quick Close Possible.
