Tucked away on a private, park-like 1.4 acre lot in the Alden School District, this immaculate, nearly 2,000 sq ft brick Cape Cod offers a rare blend of storybook charm, modern updates, and ultimate floor plan flexibility with full 1st-floor living capability. Step inside to discover 2 main-level bedrooms and an oversized 1st-floor full bath with a separate tub and shower (excellent location for 1st-floor laundry setup potential), complemented upstairs by 2 additional spacious bedrooms, a 2nd full bath, a cedar closet, and custom built-in double beds with a bookcase. The pristine kitchen is equipped with classic cabinetry, new quartz countertops, sleek black stainless steel appliances, a deep stainless steel sink, and a custom corner built-in coffee bar. Gathering is seamless in the entertainment-sized dining room featuring a picture window with a built-in window seat framing serene backyard views alongside direct access to the freshly painted rear patio, shaded by a covered pergola. The inviting living room anchors the home with a remote-controlled gas fireplace insert, custom built-in bookcase with accent lighting, pocket door, and access to the covered front porch. An ultra-functional breezeway/mudroom serves as the ultimate service entry and connects the house to an extra-deep attached 2-car garage. Downstairs, the expansive, partially finished dry basement provides versatile space for recreation, a well-lit workshop, laundry, and mechanicals. Outstanding peace of mind is provided by ALL OF THE FOLLOWING UPDATES completed post-2023: brand-new furnace and hot water tank(‘24), gas fireplace, fully refreshed bathrooms with new vanities and water-efficient toilets, new LVP flooring and carpeting, fresh paint throughout w/tastefully designed wallpaper accents, updated lighting, new Pella aluminum storm doors, repointed brickwork with Crown coated chimney, serviced garage windows, and the list goes on.
