Charming Cedar Shingle and universally adored cape-style bungalow home situated on large urban lot(s) is prime for a new owner. This circa 1930 home, characterized by early 20th century design features, includes a low pitch roof, varying roof lines, back dormer, front portico, cedar shingle wood siding and mature perimeter gardens adorning the tree lined street. In addition, buyers take note of the useful and convenient built-ins sprinkled throughout and admire the hard-wood flooring present in most rooms. There are two large ''front of the house'' living areas and a cozy front foyer entrance. A relaxing den remodeled with custom made ceiling beams awaits quiet study or a new movie debut. Every space within this house presents with purpose. Let us not forget the half bath and laundry room on the first floor. Three bedrooms, a generous sized cedar closet, additional attic closet space, and a full bathroom surround the center stairwell landing upstairs. There remains an abundance of natural sunlight in every bedroom. Adding to the allure of this modest yet spacious 2000+ square foot home sitting on a .13-acre lot is the adjoining .25-acre added lot with manicured lawns surrounded by privacy fencing. You will have plenty of room for a future swimming pool or an outside oasis ready for family enjoyment and backyard entertainment. A new concrete floor poured two years ago thereby upgrades the detached 1-2 car garage and lawncare utility space. The basement is partially finished with a new painted floor. The heating system is less than a decade old and new owners will be pleased with the architectural heat dispensing radiators throughout the home. The location is central in the city. This house offering will be popular for all looking to move nearer to schools, hospitals, colleges, shops, and the down-town area. This Central Avenue location borders the Bates College Campus and is within walking distance to the nearby community center and middle school.
