This is as comfortable a home as you'll find, with some surprising touches that will capture your fancy. The sunny entry invites you into a surprisingly large eat-in kitchen, bathed in light from the walls of windows, and with a cozy little mudroom tucked to one side. The intimate yard is beautifully planted and has lots of garden space, so you can have your own farm-to-table experience every day! The living room is like an oasis, warmed by beautiful hardwood floors and featuring built-in bookcases that frame the entry to an updated 3/4 bath and 1st-floor laundry. Or, in warmer months, retreat to your screened porch and smell the flowers blooming while you sip a glass of wine or dine al fresco. Back inside and down the hall, past a charmingly curved wall, there's a spacious office where you can work from home, and which could serve as a third bedroom or guest room. A classic New England newell post will guide you upstairs to the second bedroom and master bedroom, which features two closets and jack-and-jill access to the full bathroom through an arched doorway. A bank of linen shelves here is one of those quaint little touches that give this home such appeal. While it boasts the character of its era, the house has also seen plenty of modern updates--all new windows & doors, R-30 insulation, updated electrical & plumbing, some recessed lighting, a newer roof on much of the building, and auto-open garage. This is just the kind of house you dream of coming home to!
