Tucked on a quiet street near the Burlington line, this thoughtfully maintained 3-bedroom cape offers a flexible layout and an outdoor setting that’s increasingly hard to find. The main level flows easily, anchored by a sunlit living room with a classic bay window that connects seamlessly to an updated kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. A dedicated dining room sits just off the main living area, while a first-floor bedroom and full bath—finished with slate-inspired tile and a subway tile surround—offer flexibility for guests or a home office. Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms provide comfortable proportions and space for a desk, with a shared half bath completing the level. Out back, the fully fenced yard truly sets the property apart, with a large Trex deck, stone patio, raised beds, swing set, and space to relax or entertain. A one-car garage adds convenience, with easy access to Routes 95, 93, and 3, plus shopping and dining in nearby Burlington.
