About this home
173 Florence Rd is an oversized Upper Highlands Cape that will surprise & delight! This sprawling 4 bed, 2.5 bath home is deceivingly large & has a very flexible floor plan, full of possibilities. The living room is awash in natural light, featuring HW floors, pretty decorative moldings, picture window & a fireplace. The formal dining room is adjacent to the kitchen, which has a peninsula & plenty of cabinet space. There is a family room addition at the back of the home w/ another fireplace & lots of closet space. The massive sunroom (w/ a mini split for heat & AC) is a perfect spot to relax & also has a slider w/access to the basement. The 1st floor has 2 bright bedrooms plus an office or dressing area connected to the primary. A newly updated full bathroom w/separate tub & shower rounds out the 1st floor. Upstairs are 2 more bedrooms, as well as a new 3/4 bath. The basement is large with several rooms. A former garage could become an art studio or more space! A truly unique property!
