Description

Located on a quarter-acre lot, this 3/4 bedroom cape cod is so deceptively spacious. As you enter the front door, notice the 22-foot living room with wood floors and so much natural lighting. This room allows great flow to the 15 x 11 family room with walls of windows, ceramic tile flooring, and efficient wood stove. The room has so many possibilities, and could even serve as your home office. The dining room and kitchen are separated by an open pass window making the appearance continue the very open look. Appliances are all remaining, so your transition to your new home will be easy. The dining room allows access to the rear porch and large back yard. This yard is fenced and so inviting for activities and entertaining. There are two bedrooms on the main floor for those looking for one-floor living, and the main bathroom is on the ground level, too. Be astounded when you walk into the upper level with the 47-foot open bedroom, with two spacious closets. The previous owner used this as two bedrooms with the separation wall, so the possibility to convert back to two bedrooms would be easily remodeled and your choice for your needs. The basement is high and dry to this date, so leave unfinished or turn into additional living space. This home has been well maintained by the current owner, as the curb appeal shows the 4-year-old roof with architectural shingles. The hot water heater is 3/4 years old and the furnace is about 9+ years. This is a great home in a wonderful location. The old railroad tracks in the middle of the roadway are being removed and the new walking path is under construction, so get ready for easy access. If you need options for an additional bathroom. plenty of space upstairs to add an 2nd full bath.Property is located less than 1 mile from the River Line Train Station and walking distance to the public bus route. Close proximity to all major roadways and JBMDL military base, offering a perfect location for commuters. Schedule your appointment quickly before you lose out on this one!
