Property Description

Warm, inviting, and full of timeless charm, this Bedford Stone Cape Cod is nestled on a large, level lot in the heart of the highly sought-after Meadowthorpe neighborhood. Mature tree-lined streets, a nearby park, and Meadowthorpe Elementary create a classic community feel, all while offering convenient access to downtown and the exciting new Turner Commons development. Inside, gleaming hardwood floors span the main level, where two generous living spaces provide flexibility for everyday living and entertaining. The remodeled kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring quartz countertops, rich wood cabinetry, and an open layout to the family room—perfect for gathering with friends and family. A screened porch extends the living space outdoors, ideal for relaxing and enjoying the serene surroundings. The upstairs primary suite offers a private retreat with a walk-in closet, walk-in shower, and double vanity. Two additional bedrooms and a second full bath complete the home. Downstairs, a large finished basement adds exceptional bonus space and includes a wood-burning fireplace, while gas logs in the main living room ensure comfort and warmth year-round. Additional highlights include an attached two-car garage, new concrete driveway and sidewalks, and a stunning magnolia tree that enhances the home's curb appeal. This is a rare opportunity to own a home that perfectly blends classic character, thoughtful updates, and an unbeatable location.
