About this home
This beautifully updated brick Cape Cod blends Beaverdale charm with thoughtful modern upgrades. Featuring 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms across three finished levels, this home offers over 2,000 sq ft of versatile living space.
Step inside to find refinished hardwood floors, freshly textured ceilings, and abundant natural light enhanced by new recessed lighting. The main floor boasts a formal dining room, inviting living room with a new mantel, and a stunning four-season porch perfect for relaxing year-round. The fully remodeled kitchen (2023) showcases new countertops, appliances, and hardwood flooring, while the bathrooms have all been tastefully renovated (2022–23) with updated vanities, tile, fixtures, and finishes.
Upstairs you’ll find two generously sized bedrooms filled with natural light and a full bath. The finished lower level (2023) extends the living space with a large family room and a private guest suite complete with its own bedroom and bathroom — ideal for visitors, a teen retreat, or a home office.
Every detail has been updated, including fresh paint throughout the home (2020–25), new window treatments, stylish light fixtures, fans, and sconces. Outside, enjoy a newly added flagstone patio (2022), perfect for entertaining, along with a two-car detached garage.
