This charming 4-bedroom, 2-bath Cape Cod is anything but cookie-cutter! With its fun exterior, vintage character, and thoughtful updates throughout, this little cutie has a personality all its own. Inside, you'll find warm hardwood floors, original woodwork, fresh finishes, and plenty of natural light, with updates made where they matter while keeping much of the home's original charm intact. The finished basement adds valuable extra living space with a full bedroom , a family room, home office, playroom, or entertaining area. Out back is a huge fully fenced yard with tons of room for pets, gardening, entertaining, play space, or additional sheds and storage. A detached 1.5-car garage and extra-long driveway provide plenty of off-street parking. Full of character, surprisingly spacious, and move-in ready, this is a great option for a first-time buyer, downsizer, or anyone looking for a home that doesn't look like every other house on the block.
