This charming ranch on a quiet side street in desirable Morris Cove offers eclectic style and carefree, one-floor living. The comfy living room has a fireplace with a high-efficiency wood stove, built-in bookshelves, and separate dining area. A new porcelain tile floor in the efficient kitchen echoes the blue in the tiled backsplash. There are three bedrooms with unique built-ins for easy storage and modular use. Painted in contemporary colors, there are handsome new windows, hardwood floors and ceiling fans in every room. The spacious basement has a washer and dryer, a fully outfitted workshop, and ample storage with all new lighting. A deck overlooks the yard, raised garden beds, and a carport and a small shed for lawn equipment. The home was recently converted to national gas, meaning a gas stove and high-efficiency boiler and on-demand hot water. The home has many "smart" upgrades, including a Nest thermostat, smoke detectors, and lighting. This home is a terrific condo alternative for someone wishing to downsize or for a first-time buyer. Yet another bonus, the sea wall, and park are nearby, and you won't need flood insurance.
