About this property
Colorful & Quiet 3-Bedroom Charmer near Downtown<br>
You are going to love the charm and comfort of our home. You’ll be located on a quiet tree lined street in a walkable neighborhood, close to restaurants, grocery stores and coffee shops. Street or driveway parking makes arrival a breeze. The main level of the home boasts 2 bedrooms, one of which can also serve as an office with a dedicated workspace. The master commands the entire upper level of this Cape Cod style home. The deck is a perfect place to unwind in the fenced backyard.
The space
Head upstairs to the master suite, covering the entire second floor. Queen bed, multiple storage options, smart TV and an en suite half bath make this retreat hard to leave.
The dining room table has seating for 4, but the leaf allows comfortable seating for more. Additional dining chairs and a highchair are available if needed. Off the dining room is the kitchen, complete with gas range, microwave, coffee maker, blender and fully stocked with supplies to cook any meal you can think of, variety of additional small appliances also available for use.
The living room is also off the dining room, home to a large sectional and a smart TV ready for your next cozy movie night. Media console is stocked with games for kids and adults.
The master bath is off the short hallway from the dining room, where you’ll find everything you need for a hot bath and a fluffy towel after. Hall linen cabinet houses extra linens, bath and body products for your use and a hair dryer. Off the same hallway are two bedrooms. One bedroom is setup with a full bed, and blackout curtains, while the second has a twin daybed and a designated workstation, plenty of dresser/closet storage in both.
The mud room has cubbies, hooks and baskets to keep all of your belongings organized. In the same room is a well-appointed playroom stocked with toys and craft supplies for all ages.
Don’t forget to head downstairs to the basement! There you will find the washer and dryer, additional kitchen supplies, and a small home gym with weights and a bike. Have kids? They will LOVE the ninja course to get some energy out.
Head outside to the lounge chairs, outdoor dining table and gas grill on the back deck. With the string lights and plenty of extra seating, it’s perfect for summer entertaining! The fully fenced backyard has tons of room to play with any of the toys hiding in the deck box or try your balance on the slackline.
