Prepare to be “wowed” when you enter this expanded Cape Cod! From the moment you see the manicured, yet easy to maintain, lawn and garden beds full of mature shrubbery and the freshly topped driveway (May 2023), pride of ownership is evident. You’ll notice the expansive feeling of the home as soon as you enter through the sunny formal living room filled with natural light streaming in from the bay window. The beautiful, natural-tone hardwood floor extends from the living room into the conveniently located hall powder room and around to the large formal dining room, complete with crown molding and shadowbox wainscoting. The rear of the home features a huge addition complete with eat-in kitchen, family room, and custom wood spiral staircase leading to a full finished basement flex room below. A vaulted ceiling with wood beams and 2 skylights makes this area feel so bright and open. The kitchen is a cook’s dream with Kraftmade solid wood cabinetry with plenty of room to store all of your gadgets, easy to care for Corian countertops, easy to clean Bosch cooktop (2021), Thermador oven, Viking Microwave (2020), new refrigerator (2023), Midea dishwasher (2023), under cabinet lighting, and plenty of space to maneuver. The moveable island gives you a convertible space for more room in the kitchen or more counter space when you need it. The inviting carpeted family room has a second entryway, Andersen windows, and a large hall closet. Access the large deck, spanning the entire width of the house, from the Andersen sliding door in the family room. There is space for grilling, eating, and entertaining in your peaceful backyard oasis. Enjoy the privacy of your fenced-in backyard surrounded by gorgeous Rose of Sharon bushes. The home has the perfect flow for entertaining with the deck, family room, and formal dining room all within close proximity to the large kitchen. In classic Cape Cod style, the primary bedroom is located on the first floor in its own secluded wing. This spacious bedroom features luxurious carpet flooring, a built-in storage system, and walk-in closet. The huge primary bathroom feels like a spa with its ceramic tile floor, tiled shower with bench and frameless glass enclosure, large jetted tub, marble top vanity with decorative tile wall behind, linen closet, and Velux skylight with remote control. Up the wood staircase with carpet runner you will find two large bedrooms with hardwood flooring. In between is a large bathroom with a Velux skylight, a ceramic tile tub shower with glass door (2021), linen closet, and two separate vanities on each wall.
The home has double basements- in the front section you will find a lovely, large family room style living space with a wood burning fireplace and huge storage closet. The room is connected to the central A/C and heat, but additionally has electric baseboard heat for an even cozier gathering space. Exiting to the hallway you will find the ceramic tile laundry area with laundry tub, a large half bath, and the utility room. Around the corner is the basement flex room under the addition which can be used as an exercise room, playroom, game room, or whatever suits your needs, with another large storage closet, and an exterior walk up. Home includes two 150 amp panels, newer central air conditioning (2017), whole house fan, separate 75 gallon water heater for the jetted tub, hardwired landscape lighting, and wiring for an ADT alarm system.
