Inviting 1940's brick Cape Cod combining traditional architecture with updated and uniquely sophisticated charm. Enticing curb appeal with shuttered and symmetrical bay windows, a beautiful landscaped front yard and walkway, draw you to the entrance. Upon entry, the sunny center Staircase invites you into the Foyer. As you walk up the Staircase from the Foyer to the Second Floor, the custom hand painted wall paper and glass paneled exit door are even more pronounced. Open the door and you are lead onto a custom wood and cooper Widow's Porch Upper Deck. Enjoy breathtaking views of the large and amazing professionally landscaped backyard. Back in the house on the Second Floor are 3 good sized carpeted Bedrooms (2 of which contain cedar closets) and an elegant custom tiled Full Bath. Back in the home's First Floor Foyer, you are also greeted left and right by arched entryways; one for the Dining Room and the other for the Living Room. Refinished oak hardwood floors are predominant on the First Floor. Contained in the large Dining Room are a custom built-in corner cabinet and sideboard. The dining room has direct access to the sunny Kitchen with its classic white cabinets and glass fronts. Walk from the kitchen into the quaint tiled 1/2 Bathroom or down the stairs into the retro 1950's style basement. The basement also contains a separate laundry/mechanical room with washer, dryer, double wash basin and plenty of room for storage. As you walk back up the stairs to the First Floor, you have an additional entrance to the spacious Living Room. The wood burning fireplace is the captivating focal point, highlighted with a classic mantel and a custom brass doored hearth. A lovely surprise awaits in the Living Room through double French doors into a light filled Four Season Room surrounded by walls of windows and a glass door that opens onto the custom built wood and copper lower deck.
