About this home

Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in the highly sought-after Masconomet School District, this charming 4-bedroom Cape is conveniently located 1 mile from Route 95 and 25 minutes to Logan Airport. Set on an expansive double lot, this home truly “lives big.” Freshly painted with refinished hardwood floors (2026), a new roof (2022), and Mass Save insulation (2024), it blends character with modern efficiency. The main level features a fireplaced living room, eat-in kitchen, bonus room with slider to a large deck, two bedrooms (including one with an attached heated greenhouse) and a full bath. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms, a skylit ¾ bath, and a spacious walk-in attic, whole-house fan, and wall A/C units for comfort. Added convenience w/a 1.5-car garage with decked storage loft. An expansive walkout basement offers laundry, workshop, and room for a playroom or home gym, plus drive-in storage for recreational equipment. A full foundation under the deck is designed for future addition
