More than move in ready, this Cape has been thoughtfully updated with numerous improvements throughout. Like many Cape-style homes, it offers a flexible floor plan with spaces that can adapt to your needs. Where to begin? Let's start with the new kitchen, featuring shaker-style cabinets, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, hardwood flooring, complemented by stylish black faucet, lights and cabinet pulls. The first floor bathroom is also new with a tiled tub surround and tile flooring, also featuring black faucets, mirror, and lighting. The first floor also includes a versatile room that can be used as either a dining room or bedroom, depending on your needs. Upstairs, you will find two bedrooms and a half bathroom. the lower level adds even more flexibility with a multi-purpose room that could serve as an office, playroom or exercise area, along with an updated 3/4 bathroom. New heat/air conditioning mini split systems. Outside, the improvements continue with a new roof and new patio overlooking the spacious yard. The work is complete-just move in, unpack, and enjoy!
