The motivated seller will give a credit at closing for interior painting. This sweet cape is in a most convenient neighborhood, very close to the high school and every convenience you can think of. Half the lower level is finished and heated. The aluminum sided home has been nicely cared for and updated with a 3-5 year old roof, new insulation in the attic, a new water heater and 6-7 year old AC. The rear-facing family room overlooks abundant perennial plantings and has a terracotta tiled floor as well as a wood burning stove. The other rooms have handsome hardwood flooring. The windows have been replaced and are energy efficient. The walk up attic has plywood floors and is an opportunity for expansion. Make this your new home! Tax is first year (of 4) phase in.
