PRICE SLASHED ... Opportunity strikes here in this charming vintage bungalow-style two-story Cape Cod. A lovely raised garden wall of interlocking pavers leads to the front door of this 1920’s-built brick and frame charmer. A sunny front porch entry leads into the living room area which opens to a big formal dining room. Both feature refinished oak flooring and the dining room’s bay window adds abundant light. Off to one side you will find a good-sized main floor master bedroom complete with mirrored double-door closet and large full bath. Beyond the dining room is the updated kitchen, gutted to studs and completely redone within the past two years, the kitchen features all new to-the-ceiling cabinetry, new counters, new appliances, maple floors and new lighting. A large walk-in pantry is ultra convenient and a pretty French door opens out to a large back porch area with lots of windows, an exterior door to the yard, access to the full basement, laundry facilities and stairway to the upper level. Upstairs is a large suite with a second large bedroom, sitting room, office or den – the choice is yours. Cathedral-style ceilings, bead-board panel accents and a half bath with a skylight complete this private second floor retreat. The full basement adds great space for storage or future expansion. Both floors have all new vinyl-clad windows. Other recent improvements include an updated electrical panel, newer hot water tank and new carpeting on the second floor. Add to this a large deep yard with expansion potential as well as a one-car detached garage, currently used for storage. Within a short distance you will find the elementary school, shops, trains, restaurants and highway making the location one of supreme convenience! The possibilities here are endless – great for investors, families or those interested in expansion and renovation! Don’t miss this affordable value!
