Description

Adorable Cape Cod charm, lovingly maintained by the same family since 1942! This delightful three bedroom home offers the kind of warmth and character that is becoming increasingly hard to find, combined with the peace of mind that comes from knowing some of the big ticket items have been taken care of. The main level features a bedroom, an updated eat-in kitchen, spacious living room, full bathroom & formal dining room perfect for larger gatherings. Two additional bedrooms are located upstairs, offering flexibility for family, guests, or a home office.

The hardwood floors... both exposed and tucked beneath the carpeting... add to the home’s timeless appeal, while the updated vinyl windows throughout & in the basement, provide easy maintenance. The roof is approximately 10 years old, the water heater was replaced in 2024, and the attractive vinyl siding and shutters give the exterior a classic cottage appeal. The furnace has been an absolute workhorse and continues to do its job. Even the blacktop driveway has been freshly sealed.

Outside, you’ll find a wonderfully spacious backyard highlighted by a beautiful, mature shade tree planted by the original owners... a living piece of the home’s history. There’s also plenty of room to add a garage should the new owner desire one.

Tucked away on a very quiet street with minimal pass through traffic, the location is exceptionally convenient, with quick access to the middle school, elementary school, and football stadium, plus a super-easy commute to Griffiss Tech Park. And the low city taxes are an added bonus, including unmetered water, city sewer, weekly garbage collection, and green waste pickup.

Neat as a pin, adorable as can be, and filled with nearly 85 years of family history... this sweet Cape Cod is ready to begin its next chapter.
