About this home

Lovely cape located at the corner of a cul de sac, with additions that include an expanded breakfast room, and a first floor family room with sliders to a fabulous backyard. A bonus room in the basement for playroom, office or exercise (not included in the disclosed square footage) provides every room you need. Charming and updated throughout, with beautiful detail. Move right in and enjoy. A short walk to Mill Pond for fishing and skating!
