Opportunity awaits in this 3 bedroom, 2 bath Cape ideally located just minutes from Route 16, making commuting a breeze while providing easy access to shopping, restaurants, schools, healthcare, and entertainment.

Step inside to a welcoming living room featuring hardwood flooring and double glass doors that open to the updated eat in kitchen. A first floor bedroom, 3/4l bath, and laundry room offer the convenience and flexibility of single floor living if desired.

The full basement provides abundant storage. Outside, enjoy the fully fenced backyard featuring an above ground pool, raised deck, and two storage sheds, perfect for entertaining, outdoor recreation, and additional storage. The former one car garage has been converted into a workshop but could easily be returned to garage space if desired. With solid bones, a desirable location, and room for cosmetic updates to make it your own, this home offers an excellent opportunity to build equity and create the home you've been envisioning.
