This iconic Cape Cod feels like something out of a memory in all the best ways. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 and 1 half bathrooms, hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, and cozy details which reflect decades of care and character. But unlike many older homes, it doesn’t feel cramped. The layout is thoughtful and spacious, offering comfort, coziness, and room to grow. It’s the kind of place that welcomes you in and makes you want to stay awhile. The light-filled kitchen is designed with connection and flow in mind. Enter directly from the driveway into a welcoming eat-in kitchen that opens seamlessly to a gracious gathering space; where it is ideal for hosting friends or enjoying slow mornings in the attached keeping room with views of nature. The owner loves the fact that when entertaining or just with family, she can cook while facing out to the room. This combines the loving energy from cooking for her loved ones with sharing conversation and eye contact. In fact, she even put a small sink facing the room so she never has to turn away from her company. Alternatively, the garden window faces the long driveway and offers a line of sight for arrivals. A nearby half bath keeps the energy centered in this welcoming hub, and French doors lead straight out to the terrace, blurring the lines between indoor comfort and outdoor living. Take your pick of three living spaces: The keeping room in the kitchen, the large living room with plenty of space for a dining room and a piano, or the sun room for watching TV and enjoying the fireplace. This sun room has wall to wall windows which bring stunning views of nature right into your room. The main level also has a bedroom and full bathroom, and the second level has two large bedrooms and a full bathroom. Despite not having a basement, there is tons of storage. “Under the eaves” of the upstairs bedroom there is plenty of space for holiday decorations and in the backyard the shed offers plenty of space as well. With double the size lot of nearby homes, this property is an outdoor enthusiast’s paradise! The moment you see it from the street, with its long street frontage lot, you realize it’s a very special place. Mature native plants, flowers, and careful landscaping show off the great care that has been taken over decades. When it comes to the backyard, it’s a more intimate, almost a secret setting. There is a variety of ways the backyard has been used for entertaining. The tiled patio, the flagstone patio, and the garden all have seen enormous dinner parties and even a wedding! This home is walking distance to Ashford Park school, several parks, and the Ashford Forest Preserve and trails.
