Welcome to this beautifully maintained 1949 Cape Cod, nestled on a lovely 0.16-acre lot. With five spacious bedrooms and three full bathrooms, this home offers generous space and comfort for the whole family. The main level showcases stunning original hardwood floors that speak to the home's classic character. At its heart, an open-concept kitchen impresses with stainless steel appliances, a gas stove, and thoughtful extras including a dedicated water filtration spout and garbage disposal — all complemented by brand-new luxury vinyl flooring. The expansive dining/sunroom, adorned with warm knotty pine walls, is the perfect place to gather and unwind. Upstairs, a remarkably large primary suite awaits, complete with a spacious full bathroom. The fully finished basement adds incredible versatility, housing two additional bedrooms and a dedicated laundry room — ideal for guests, family, or flexible living. Step outside to enjoy a generous rear yard, a beautiful Trex deck with lighting perfect for entertaining, and a charming backyard complete with a treehouse and swing set. Two driveways — one on each side of the home — along with a detached garage and carport, provide abundant parking and storage. Rest easy with a comprehensive security system featuring both interior and exterior cameras. Leased solar panels offer meaningful savings on your BGE bill, often generating a monthly credit. Ideally situated in a vibrant neighborhood just minutes from parks, schools, and everyday essentials, this home is more than an address — it's the backdrop for a lifetime of memories.
