This quintessential cape glows with all the charm and detail that you'd expect but updated for modern efficiency and convenience… vinyl replacement windows, metal roof, updated electrical, standby Generac generator, Buderus boiler and a 6 month old Harman pellet stove. Name brand, quality is found throughout this home including the recently renovated kitchen where you'll find Thermador appliances, with an induction cooktop, a convection wall oven and built-in microwave. The imported tile backsplash is one of a kind complimenting the custom wood cabinetry and bamboo flooring. The full bath has its own surprises… the extra deep, jetted spa tub and towel warmer invokes a luxurious feel to your bath experience. Wander out to the enclosed back porch or the deck to enjoy all those relaxing moments. A large, private backyard with firepit, oversized shed and huge shade tree has plenty of room for gardening, a pool and every other outdoor activity you can imagine! And did I mention curb appeal? You are greeted by a gated arbor, rail fence and granite light posts that offset perennials, roses and mature shrubbery. A basement laundry area includes a soapstone utility sink and space to fold laundry while the workshop area complete with sturdy work bench provides ample space for crafts and hobbies! Located on a quiet, dead-end road less than a half mile from the Spaulding Turnpike, close to amenities and conveniences less than 5 minutes in any direction and only 20 minutes to Portsmouth.
