Price Improvement! Welcome home to this charming brick Cape boasting exceptional character, rich woodwork, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Flanked by beautiful bay windows, the front entry opens into a spacious main level anchored by gleaming hardwood floors. Relax in the inviting living room, featuring exposed beam ceilings, skylights, built-in shelving, paneled accent walls, and a stone-surround wood stove that adds warmth and timeless appeal. Host memorable meals in the dedicated dining room, detailed with classic wainscoting. The heart of the home is the eat-in kitchen, outfitted with granite countertops, lots of cabinet storage, a sunny breakfast area, and the convenience of a second rear staircase leading directly upstairs. Just off the kitchen discover a cozy screened-in porch—the perfect spot for morning coffee. Outdoors, enjoy a large, level, fully fenced yard complete with a low-maintenance composite side deck, a dedicated storage shed, and a covered carport off the paved driveway. The main level also offers a flexible primary or guest bedroom with multiple closets and easy access to a full main-level bath with a tub and shower. Upstairs, two additional light-filled bedrooms share a second full bath. The full walk-out basement expands your living space with a comfortable lower-level family room featuring custom built-ins, laundry facilities, and plenty of extra storage. Situated on a prime corner lot, this unique property offers easy access to Boston Road and sits just a half-mile from the trails of the Hillside Conservation Parcel.
