Property Description

Welcome to this classic brick Cape Cod, lovingly owned since 1980 and ready for its next chapter! Built in 1915, this home is full of character, timeless charm, and endless potential for someone looking to restore and personalize a well-built home. Situated on a beautiful, spacious, and serene 0.46-acre lot backing directly to Umbenhauer Park, you'll enjoy the rare benefit of no homes behind you—just peaceful green space with a pavilion, picnic tables, playground, mature shade trees, and open lawn to enjoy. The setting truly needs to be seen in person to be appreciated. A covered front porch stretches across the entire front of the home, creating a welcoming place to relax, while the brick pillars with lighting and front sidewalk add to its curb appeal. Inside, you'll find original wood trim, a beautiful staircase, a spacious living room with a fireplace, a formal dining room, an eat-in kitchen, and a large sunroom featuring a wood stove. Just off the kitchen, a deck overlooks the beautiful backyard, providing the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee, unwind in the evening, or take in the peaceful park-like setting. Main level also has a first-floor bedroom with an attached full bath with a walk-in shower which offers the flexibility of one-floor living or can easily be used as a home office, playroom, hobby room, craft room, or guest suite to suit your needs. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms, all with hardwood flooring, ceiling fans, and closets, along with a full bathroom that even includes its own large closet. For a home of this era, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the abundance of closets and storage throughout. Additional features include replacement windows, central air conditioning, public water and sewer, oil heat, electric hot water, and an attached oversized garage with an adjoining workshop—perfect for hobbies, projects, or extra storage. This home does require updating and is being sold AS-IS. Some personal property will remain with the home. If you've been searching for a property with great bones, classic architectural details, an exceptional lot, and the opportunity to create something truly special, this is one you won't want to miss. Conveniently located with easy access to Routes 183, 222, 422, and I-78.
