About this home
Beautifully restored, this Cape Cod blends timeless charm with the practical upgrades that genuinely matter. For anyone who has been hunting for a home where the costly, behind-the-scenes work is already complete, this one deserves a spot near the top of the list. Inside you will find four bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms spread across roughly 1,550 square feet. The generous kitchen stands out with its granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, offering plenty of room to cook, gather, and linger. Some original hardwood floors run underfoot, adding warmth and a touch of the home's storied past. First-floor laundry rounds out the main level, keeping everyday routines simple and convenient. The real peace of mind, however, comes from everything you cannot see at first glance. This home boasts new vinyl siding, a new roof backed by a transferable warranty, and newer windows that help keep things comfortable and efficient year-round. The electrical system has been updated with a 200 amp breaker, and central air ensures cool, easy summers when the temperatures climb. In other words, the big-ticket items have already been handled, so you can focus on making the space your own rather than fixing what somebody else neglected. Outdoor living gets its due as well. A freshly poured concrete patio invites you to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy a quiet evening, while the brand-new fence creates a secure, private space that is ideal for pets, play, or peace of mind. A detached one-stall garage adds welcome storage for tools, seasonal gear, or that project you keep promising to finish. Location is another quiet win here. Watertown High School sits just minutes away, and nearby Thompson Park offers green space, trails, and room to breathe whenever you need a change of scenery. It is a convenient, connected spot that still feels comfortably tucked away. Charming, updated, and thoughtfully cared for, this Cape Cod is ready for its next chapter. Schedule your private showing today and see everything this welcoming home has to offer.
