A classically styled modified Cape with 4 BR and 1.5 BA sits on a large corner in-town lot on a dead-end street within easy walking distance to shops, library, and other amenities. The main level of this spacious home exudes warmth, comfort, and tradition featuring beamed ceilings in the large eat-in kitchen with pantry closet and adjoining family room with woodstove/hearth, and an inviting living room. A master bedroom plus 3 smaller bedrooms are on the second level. One or more bedrooms offer the option for multiple uses such as a home office or craft room. A mud room with two closets serves as the entrance to the home. The full, unfinished basement and attic offer plenty of space for storage or other uses. The extensive renovations in the 1980s enhanced the ambience as well as functional aspects of the home while retaining much of the old charm of an earlier time.
Unique to this property is an attached office space with above storage area and separate entrance formerly used for a medical practice. In its current configuration, there is a reception area with woodstove/hearth, private exam room with sink, and a half bath. Imagine the possibilities for this space such as the ideal place for remote work, a medical or other professional office, home based business, conversion to an in-law apartment or expanded living area for the home. There is ample off street paved parking.
The 2 detached, 1 car garages are available for vehicle or other storage. The grounds are mostly lawn areas plus a concrete pad for basketball or other uses. Attached office space features and square footage not included in property details.
This beautiful coastal area is the perfect spot for residents and visitors to enjoy a wide-range of outdoor activities such as hiking, kayaking, and biking.
