Listing broker remarks

Comfortable Cape style home with a sweet hill-top site just over 2 acres. Ready for occupancy with an upgraded eat-in kitchen featuring maple cabinets and a sunny double corner window over the sink for a great view of the yard. Space-saving double pocket doors are a neat solution to create separation from the living area and hide them away for a more open and contemporary feel. Four bedrooms with ample closet space and built-ins provide plenty of storage and separate space for everyone. The many updates help make this an efficient home, including vinyl replacement windows throughout, metal roof (2016), attic insulation, steel entry doors and storms, Hybrid electric HW heater (2021), mini-split unit, and new pressure tank for the well (2025). Updated electric panel, and septic installed in 2018. Expandable space in the enclosed front porch, and the first floor also has an extra room for office space or den, as well as first floor laundry area. Outside you’ll find a lovely rear deck and a detached 2 car garage with additional storage space. Seller requests offers by Tuesday Sept 29 at noon.— Renfrew Real Estate
