Abracadabra! Don’t be deceived by the tiny house vibes coming from the adorable façade of this unique and magical Cape Cod! This flowing, flexible floor plan is expansive and will surprise you with its large rooms, second story, and very special basement. And, with 2 bedrooms and a full bath on the first floor, it offers the opportunity for living entirely on the first floor. Downsizers take note! The covered front porch with its white picket fence is a charming spot from which to sip coffee and watch the quietness of the neighborhood go by. The entry offers a small vestibule with a bit of storage, a welcoming point of separation between the outside world and inside comforts. The large living room with its showy, old-school inlay in the hardwood flooring, wood-burning fireplace, and a big, picture window affords many opportunities for furniture layout. The hardwood continues into the spacious dining room, which has a huge bank of windows on one side, the most charming built-in corner cabinet, and is the center of the home, providing access to the living room, kitchen, the hallway to the first-floor bedrooms, and stairs to the second floor. The kitchen has a timeless look with so much incredible, tall white cabinetry and its white-oak-style laminate flooring brightens the whole room. The first-floor bedrooms are large and bright with hardwood floors (and the inlay!). The front bedroom has a double-width cedar closet and custom wire shelving. In the hall, between the two bedrooms, there is a bright, neutral bathroom (with shower only), and great built-in storage cabinets. The back bedroom is also amply sized and bright. It has a small en-suite half bath and a closet that is currently used for nearly-new laundry machines. These rooms could all be made into one enormous, stunning Primary Suite! Or a bedroom plus den/office/gym/nursery…you name it. But wait….the second story also offers an opportunity to create a large Primary Suite! Up here there are two medium-sized bedrooms and a roughly 9x12 bonus room that is dying to be a second full bathroom. LOTS of possibilities. There is also tremendous under-the-eaves attic space for all of your storage needs and a long hallway that also works for storage. However, there is also a back stair that leads to the rear deck; it’s a legit separate entrance to the upstairs therefore that second floor could work extremely well as a nanny-suite, in-law suite, or perhaps even an income-producing apartment! What?!? Wow! The basement’s potential will knock your socks off. Although unfinished, 75% of the floor is covered in ¾’ thick MARBLE tiles as is a portion of the wall and the ceiling height is 9-10 feet – this space is just begging to be finished and you’d still have plenty of space left over for storage. Down here there is also a wide staircase with a door (a standard door, not Bilco doors) to the narrow side yard. The property includes a loooong driveway and a parking pad at the rear. No garage, but there is accommodation for 8+ cars. The backyard includes a shed with gardening/lawn equipment that conveys. This dynamite location is conveniently located near many shops, restaurants, bars, and major roadways, and feeds to the prestigious Culbertson Elementary School. Wave your magic wand over the few rough edges and turn it into a one-of-a-kind palace.
