You won't believe how much space you'll find in this expanded cape with a fabulous open-concept great room and kitchen addition! Freshly updated in the past year with new carpet and fresh paint, new CoreTec flooring in the kitchen and laundry room, and new granite counters in the kitchen. The expansive open-concept kitchen/ great room includes exposed brick walls and a brick fireplace (gas), and a generously proportioned seating area to watch TV or relax by the fire. The kitchen has a convenient breakfast bar, warm maple cabinets, easy-care CoreTec flooring, granite countertops, a brand-new microwave and plenty of space for an eat-in table. On the main floor you'll also find the master bedroom with hardwood floors, a ceiling fan, two exposures of windows and plenty of space for a queen size bed and end tables too. Just across the hall is a full bath with a tub/ shower, and "retro-classic" tile. A small office/ study adjacent to the master bedroom offers the option to expand the master into a larger en-suite. And there's more! The original kitchen for this home is now a flexible space to be purposed for your needs - with a large closet and sunny window, this space could be used for a mudroom, or even a second office or study. Sliders from the great room open to a big deck and lovely flat backyard with well-established trees, plantings and perennials. There's plenty of space to grill out and enjoy some backyard fun, so go ahead and invite your friends over for a Fourth of July celebration! Upstairs is a large storage closet plus two more bedrooms - both with newer carpet and each with a dormer alcove and two exposures of windows. The basement is partially (rough) finished and includes a powder room. 1-car attached garage plus driveway parking for 2+ cars. Central air conditioning and upgraded electrical service; newer gas furnace (2010) and gas hot water heater (2012); roof (2001). The kitchen/ great room addition even includes a supplemental Honeywell heat and A/C unit, so you'll be warm and cozy in the winter and cool in the summer! All this plus walking distance to the train, and easy access to all major commuting routes. Why wait? This wonderful home is available for immediate occupancy!
