Property Description

SWOON! They simply don't make them like this anymore. Welcome to the kind of home that makes you slow down, smile and remember what a house is supposed to feel like. This darling 2-bedroom Cape Cod is overflowing with the charm, craftsmanship and character today's buyers have been craving and it has the details to prove it. From the sweet dormer and open front porch made for morning coffee and neighborly hellos, to the vestibule (yes, an actual vestibule!), this home feels like it stepped right out of a storybook. Inside, original character shines through with beautiful hardwood floors, classic trim, graceful arches, leaded glass and a timeless brick mantel with gas insert, creating the perfect spot to curl up and stay awhile. The private rear yard is equally charming, with mature gardens and a quaint patio tucked away for relaxing, entertaining or rocking the evening away. A double/triple-wide driveway leads to the 2-car garage with electric and plenty of room for cars, hobbies, storage and all the things life brings. And while this home celebrates its vintage soul, the important updates have been thoughtfully completed. Improvements include a new breaker box, new furnace, 9 new triple-pane windows, new second-story plumbing ready for a stackable washer/dryer, new glass block in the cellar, refrigerator (2025), washer (2021), garage roof (2024), garage door (2021), and new chimney cap, flue tile and liner (2026). A full basement provides even more storage and utility space. This isn't cookie-cutter. It isn't trying to be modern. It's genuine. It's warm. It's wonderfully imperfect in all the right ways and filled with the craftsmanship and character that simply can't be recreated for this price. If your idea of home includes hardwood floors under your feet, a front porch to greet the neighbors, gardens out back, a crackling fire on a winter night and a house with a story of its own, you may have just found it. Come fall in love with this little Cape Cod classic. Offer deadline 9/30/26 @ 12pm.
