This home sits on a beautiful lot in one of towns most sought after neighborhoods. With very charming curb-appeal, this quintessential Cape Cod is ready for a buyer who wishes to create their OWN equity, rather than pay for someone else's. In need of a significant "makeover," this is the ideal canvas of which to create the comfortable home of your dreams. Any improvements you make here will be well worth the expense, given the quality of the location. Others here have renovated, gone up, gone out and have created a special home, all while making a wise investment. With excellent "bones," finish the breezeway into a fantastic mudroom, maybe open the kitchen and dining room, creating an amazing space, while the front to back living room is light and bright with its bay window, and is sure to be a "show stopper" with its beautiful mantled fireplace. Come spring, you will LOVE the deck space and gorgeous yard. Don't miss this!
