Welcome home to this beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath Cape, set on 3.43 acres of serene natural beauty. Currently configured as a 3-bedroom home with an attached first-floor, 1-bedroom in-law apartment, the layout offers exceptional flexibility and can easily be converted back to a traditional 4-bedroom single-family home with a first-floor primary suite. The heart of the home is a stunning, updated kitchen featuring white cabinetry, quartz countertops, tile backsplash, wine refrigerator, and an impressive nine-foot center island with seating for four. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining area and the spacious, living room, where soaring vaulted ceilings and oversized windows create a bright and inviting atmosphere. A convenient first-floor laundry room and powder room complete the main level. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with a walk-in closet and private bath. Two additional bedrooms offer ample closet space and share an updated full bathroom. The second floor also features 9 foot ceilings making this home stand out from other traditional Capes. The lower level provides even more usable space, featuring a large area currently utilized as a home gym, along with a finished room ideal for a home office, playroom, or mudroom conveniently located off the garage. Adding versatility is the attached single-level in-law apartment, offering comfortable accommodations for extended family, guests, a home office, or the opportunity for supplemental rental income. Step outside and enjoy the peaceful setting from the deck or stone patio, or stay active on the property's full-size basketball court-a rare amenity that makes this home as fun as it is functional.
