Charm and function come together in this picturesque Cape-style home, beautifully set on several manicured acres and surrounded by inviting outdoor spaces. Vibrant perennial gardens frame the entrance, creating a warm welcome before stepping inside, where rich wide-plank pine flooring adds character throughout the main living areas. Just off the garage entrance, a convenient mudroom with an adjacent full bath leads into the refreshed kitchen, featuring updated countertops and stainless steel appliances. The open dining area flows easily from the kitchen and features a slider to the back deck, where you can relax and take in views of the expansive grounds. A desirable first-floor bedroom adds flexibility for guests, a home office, or convenient main-level living. Upstairs, two additional, extra large bedrooms, each offering plenty of living space for one, to share or for generous storage and easy access to a second full bath. The walkout lower level provides even more living and entertaining space, with a spacious recreation room featuring a custom built-in bar, a dedicated theater room with a large screen and built-in storage, and a separate laundry area. A glass slider opens to a covered outdoor area beneath the deck, extending the entertaining space outside and providing a sheltered spot to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Outside, the two-car garage provides plenty of room for vehicles and storage, while an additional concrete parking pad offers extra space for vehicles or recreational use. With its spacious acreage, flexible living areas, and inviting indoor and outdoor spaces, this home offers a wonderful blend of classic Cape character and everyday functionality.
