Description
This cozy Cape Cod sits on almost 2 acres, offering space, privacy, and a quiet retreat full of charm and possibilities. The main level features 2 bedrooms and a full bath, with 2 more bedrooms and another full bath upstairs, ideal for guests, hobbies, or an office for those that work from home. The full, semi-finished basement includes a built-in bar and pool table (yes, the bar stools and billiard accessories stay), a half bath/laundry area with utility sink and a space currently used for small-batch wine making which can be used for just that or extra storage, entertaining, or creative projects if preferred. Step outside and you’ll find your own backyard paradise. The inground pool is 8 feet deep at its deepest point—perfect for swimming, relaxing, and enjoying sunny days. It also features a slide for a little extra fun! Surrounded by open space and nature, it’s a great spot for lounging, pool parties, or quiet evenings by the water. For gardeners and nature lovers, the property includes a small vineyard, with several varieties of grapes. Plantings include Paw Paw trees, apple trees, a blackberry/raspberry patch, and blueberry bushes. Perennial plants are thoughtfully placed throughout the property, providing color and blooms through multiple seasons. An 8x8 greenhouse and a 16x10 garden/pool shed provide room for tools, storage, and year-round planting. The dining area opens to a back deck overlooking the gardens, and a screened-in porch offers the perfect place to enjoy peaceful mornings or summer thunderstorms. A new roof installed in 2024 adds peace of mind for the next owner. This is a home that truly lets you unwind and enjoy the outdoors—private, welcoming, and full of character. It’s your own little escape, right at home!

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
