01About this home

Truly one-of-a-kind expanded Cape Cod offering an exceptional combination of updated living space, extensive outbuildings, and a peaceful country setting on .65 acres. From the moment you step inside, you'll appreciate the open-concept design connecting the spacious living room with wood-burning stove, dining area, and kitchen, creating an inviting space for everyday living and entertaining. The interior has been extensively cosmetically updated and features white trim and doors throughout, along with a blend of hardwood and laminate flooring across most of the main level. The kitchen showcases white cabinetry, Corian countertops, and an adjoining elongated breakfast nook. The oversized primary suite offers over 220 sq. ft. of living space and a beautifully updated private bath. A second main-floor bedroom and updated full bath with tiled tub surround, and 1st floor laundry provide added convenience. Upstairs is the ultimate retreat featuring a massive bonus room with attached half bath and potential for a future fourth bedroom, plus an additional bedroom. Outside, the amenities continue with a lifetime tile roof, steel siding, vinyl windows, detached garage, storage shed, fenced garden area, and a three-season room awaiting your finishing touches. Car enthusiasts, contractors, and at home businesses will love the impressive 30x48 heated, insulated, and plumbed outbuilding offering over 1,400 sq. ft. of versatile space for vehicles, workshops, toys, and more. This is a property that must be seen to be fully appreciated and desperately wanted in this market below 300K. Do not let this HUGE opportunity get by you!
