Description

Space Galore abounds in this beautiful move in ready Cape Cod home in a Lovely neighborhood. This home from the moment you drive up to the freshly paved driveway will compel you to step inside.....the front porch with its modern charm and farmhouse touches welcomes you! Once inside, the fireplace feature wall greets you. The living room and dining room are all open and provide plenty of space for entertaining. The kitchen might be the showstopper.....with custom cabinetry, slow close doors and drawers, quartz countertops, custom tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. If that wasn't enough there is also the primary bedroom on the main floor with its own en-suite....and it's gorgeous! Let's not forget about the main floor half bathroom that finishes off the main level. Upstairs you will find another full bathroom and three generous size bedrooms with LOTS of closet space. The finished basement has another bathroom, large recreational room and the finished laundry room, and the 5th, yes, 5th bedroom. All that is left, if is for you to move right in!
