Welcome to this adorable 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath fully dormered cape home! This great house sits on literally what feels like parklike grounds. Wait until you walk the lot and see the amount of land! It's your own little oasis tucked in the neighborhood and conveniently located to everything. As you enter, you will see the gleaming hardwood floors throughout and fireplace in the living room with built-ins on each side. Then there is the first floor bedroom to your right, the full bath, and to your left down the hall is the dining room and kitchen. Custom cut outs open the space between the two rooms and it's another feature of this time period that adds such character and charm. The second floor consists of a half bath and two spacious bedrooms. In addition there is a detached garage and additional outbuilding. Some updates over the years include: furnace, oil tank, thermal pane windows, and more!
