    What's special

    Absolutely charming home that feels right the second you walk in. Tucked into Lakeview’s Piety Corner Historic District—just past Pizzi Farm and moments from Rt. 95 and Rt. 2—this lovingly cared-for home has been shaped by real hands and hard work. The current owners poured their energy into new floors, a fresh kitchen, a basement bonus room, and more. Inside you’ll find a sunlit sitting room, cozy living space, three bedrooms, one refreshed bath, and a kitchen that’s modern without losing its charm—plus a tucked-away eating nook. The basement? Half is a dreamy laundry room and flex space, the other half ready for your tools, storage bins, or big ideas. Forced air with central cooling throughout. Outside, a huge Maple Tree shades a beautifully fenced backyard, with landscaping and sprinkler system already in place. A quiet side street that's great for strolls to parks, the bus, and other amenities. It's definitely worth a visit!
