Like a page out of Country Living Magazine, this lovely home embodies modern farmhouse style-cozy & relaxing w/plenty of charm & character. Situated on over an acre of neatly manicured grounds,this updated cape offers the best of all worlds.For those looking to avoid the hassle of too many steps, the convenience of the main floor layout w/its 1st floor master suite offers all the ease of single-story living w/the added benefit of more living space upstairs. For those looking for a little taste of solitude without going far off the grid, this property sits back from the street & is flanked by a wooded buffer to one side & a quiet local park on the other. Enjoy privacy from neighbors while remaining close to everywhere you want to go. From the moment you step inside, you will love the spacious & open floorplan. High ceilings, ample windows, & abundant natural light make the entire interior feel bright & airy throughout. Neutral walls & warm, wide-plank wood floors grace the main level from the front entryway through living/dining room areas & into the kitchen. At the heart of the home is the beautiful, eat-in, kitchen which serves as the focal point of the main level. With rich, 42"cabinets, granite countertops & sleek appliances the kitchen is truly the centerpiece of this home's rustic-elegance design. Off the kitchen is the master suite w/walk-in closet & full bath. From the main floor, steps lead you down to the basement w/laundry area or upstairs to the 2nd floor. The upper level of the home is not your traditional cape layout. At the top of the staircase is the large, updated, full bath. To the left & right are the 2 bedrooms. Both upstairs bedrooms are spacious & sunny w/high, vaulted ceilings, double windows & ample closet space. Connecting the 2 bedrooms is a cozy nook for the perfect sitting area, study spot, or playroom. This home's appeal is not limited to just the interior. From the kitchen, glass sliders lead you onto the back deck that overlooks the huge fenced-in yard & Autumn Pasquale Memorial Park beyond. Imagine the benefits of having easy access to all the features of this recreational area including a walking trail, playground, ball courts & more. Outside the detached garage could make the perfect workshop while the shed can house your outdoor storage needs. This gem was totally renovated in 2011. The roof & almost all of the mechanicals were replaced including furnace, a/c unit & h/w heater. All that's left to do is move in!
