Property Description

This wonderful brick Cape Cod located below the college is set on a beautiful lot filled with possibilities and room to grow. The beautiful hardwood flooring in the Foyer is carried through much of the home, as are classic built-ins including bookcases in the formal Living Room plus two corner cabinets in the formal Dining Room. The Living Room has a gas log fireplace with mantel and opens to a cozy enclosed porch that evokes a quintessential European "snug" vibe. The Kitchen has been updated with quartz countertops atop the vintage wood cabinetry. Plus there is a wonderful screened porch with access both from the enclosed porch and back door at the Kitchen. A first floor full bath has a walk-in shower. Upstairs, the landing and three nicely-sized bedrooms have a good amount of storage for an older home. The Primary Bedroom has access to the upper level tiled full bath that was updated in 2022. The main level formal areas have plantation shutters on the lower window sashes. The basement has been improved with a Recreation Area with faux fireplace with mantel. The utility area has gas furnace which replaced the oil furnace a few years ago, plus water heater and washer/dryer closet. Upstairs, there is a heat pump for cooling in warmer months. The main level has a electric mini-split in the enclosed porch off the Living Room that also helps keep the main level cool in the warm months. The unused oil tank was removed by Pollard Environmental in 2025; see Documents. New gutters were installed in 2025, as well. There is both off-street and on-street parking plus a spacious backyard with two smaller sheds for additional storage, both being sold "as-is." All appliances are functional and being sold "as-is." So much charm and so many possibilities, all in one fabulous home within walking distance to the university and all of the downtown amenities. See this one soon!
