Welcome to 487 Sowams Rd, a beautifully updated and meticulously maintained Cape full of New England charm. Walking in you first notice the higher than expected ceilings & the beautiful wide plank wood floors which give this house a ton of character. The open and airy eat-in kitchen is fully updated with cathedral ceilings, exposed beams, cherry wood counter tops, stainless steel appliances and glass doors heading out to the patio. Just off the kitchen is a large formal dining room with beautiful historic fireplace & mantle. The dining room flows well into the generously sized family room complete with fireplace and room for an office or reading nook. Upstairs are 3 good sized light filled bedrooms, the main bathroom and ample built in storage. Head outside to the patio just off the kitchen that is perfect for entertaining. The large fenced in yard is perfect for those backyard games. A 1 car detached garage gives you lots of flex space or storage. Recent updates include newer windows, electrical, plumbing & boiler. A must see!
