About this home

Not a drive by. Don't be deceived, bigger than it looks! Pristine Cape in Woodend district on large wooded lot. Home features gleaming HWF and a year old cherry kitchen with all the bells and whistles: ceramic tile floor, granite counter tops and stainless appliances. The kitchen is open to the family room with a pellet stove. There is a master bedroom on the first floor with a master bath and jetted tub. The living room with fireplace has new windows as well as the formal dining room.
