Tucked away on a quaint and quiet dead end side street: freshly painted home with a newer roof in the same family for 2 generations! Step inside to an open living, dining, and kitchen area featuring a cozy wood-burning fireplace, oak kitchen cabinets, a new kitchen floor, and beautiful hardwood floors throughout. The main level offers three generously sized bedrooms and a full shared bathroom, providing convenient single-level living with no stairs required. A bright sunroom off the kitchen leads to the rear deck, fenced level yard, and gazebo, creating a great space for relaxing or entertaining outdoors. The lower level can be accessed from inside the home or through a private rear entrance, making it well suited for multi-generational living. Currently configured as a self-contained area, it offers the flexibility of 3 additional flexible rooms, a separate living room, and a cooking area. The lower level has also been freshly painted throughout. This home offers plenty of space, versatility, and classic New England charm.

ADU Potential

Estimated maximum ADU size for this property: 900 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 1,815 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 8,494 sq ft.
