Nestled on expansive, picturesque grounds spanning 1.57 acres, this classic 1942 New England Cape blends charm, character, and thoughtful updates. Set back from the road, the deep front lawn and tree-lined backyard provide a serene retreat while maintaining easy access to local amenities. Inside, warm parquet hardwood floors, custom built-ins, and elegant millwork highlight the home's timeless appeal. The inviting living room features a fireplace with a distinctive mantel and built-in bookshelves that seamlessly flow into the formal dining room, accented with a built-in corner hutch and chair rail detailing. The updated kitchen boasts soft-close cabinetry, granite countertops, recessed lighting, and a sunlit breakfast nook overlooking the peaceful backyard.
