About this home
Sunny, spacious, and spotless, this quintessential New England Cape is brimming with updates, character, and charm! Gleaming hardwood floors, freshly painted interiors, and shimmering natural light welcome you, with versatile spaces that grow with your family. Cozy up by the fireplace, gather for game day in the expansive family room off the granite-and-stainless-steel kitchen, enjoy summer barbecues, backyard games, and evenings around the fire pit in the sprawling, fully fenced yard. A first-floor bedroom and full bath offer wonderful flexibility. An oversized garage/barn, believed to predate the house, offers parking, an attached workshop, and abundant storage. Surrounded by nature, with wooded trails across the street and direct backyard access to the Minuteman Bikeway, outdoor adventure is right at your doorstep!
