Welcome to 28 Tarbox Drive, a charming 3 bed, 2bath Cape-style home nestled in scenic Exeter. Built in 1988, this well-maintained residence offers a delightful blend of comfort, functional living, and outdoor appeal. The finished basement with a woodstove provides additional living space with plenty of storage. This home captures a “peaceful country yet not remote” feel. Living areas flow naturally to the outdoors — imagine sipping morning coffee on the porch or holding summer cookouts on the deck. The walk-out basement bonus rooms add versatile space without expanding the footprint above. With mature trees surrounding the lot, privacy and tranquility are key features here. While the house is serene, it remains well-connected to Exeter and surrounding towns for shopping, dining, schools, and recreation. The blend of indoor-outdoor living, flexible layout, and classic Cape charm make it an excellent choice for families, downsizers, or those seeking a rural escape within reach of amenities.
