Welcome to your classic Cape Cod home full of historic charm, soulful character, and dreamy indoor-outdoor living. Offering four unique outdoor spaces, two indoor fireplaces, and two sunrooms, inviting you to live in rhythm with the seasons.

A tranquil water feature adds movement and calm, and your private turf dog run makes it perfect for pets or storage. With a 2.5 car garage, full basement with laundry room and plenty of storage, flexible living spaces, and the rare blend of nostalgic charm and modern upgrades, this home is made for those who crave beauty, ease, and a deeper connection to home. Whether you're sipping wine by the firepit or drinking coffee on the patio, every inch of this space invites you to slow down and savor its beauty.
