With newly refinished floors and freshly painted interior rooms, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath Cape-style home with a detached one-car garage offers a thoughtful balance of historic character and modern updates, all set on .90 acres of lovely grounds. Inside, the home showcases classic New England craftsmanship with wide-board pumpkin pine floors, exposed hand-hewn beams, and original fireplaces that speak to its centuries-old story. Gather in the updated Kitchen, complete with lg island and new Cook top, creating a bright and welcoming space for everyday living and entertaining. The sunroom overlooking the perennial gardens provides a peaceful place to relax and enjoy the surrounding landscape. The first floor offers the convenience of single-level living, including a bedroom with a bonus area offering numerous possibilities, a remodeled full bath, and comfortable dining and family rooms enhanced by ventless gas fireplace inserts, perfect for cozy New England evenings.
