About this home

Updated, comfortable and ready for it's next owner - this charming Firestone Park Cape offers the space and improvements today's buyers are looking for, without breaking the budget. Step inside and you'll immediately appreciate the warm, inviting feel and the thoughtful updates throughout. The nicely remodeled kitchen features crisp white cabinetry, modern countertops, a brand-new refrigerator & electric range, and it has a built-in dishwasher, all together creating a bright and functional space you'll enjoy every day. The remodeled full bath offers a clean, updated look with a single sink vanity and fixtures, subway tile tub surround, a medicine cabinet and brushed nickel vanity lights. The home's classic Cape Cod design provides three bedrooms; two on the main floor and a spacious second floor primary bedroom, providing even more versatility, not only for a bedroom, but for a home office, sitting area or even a combination of uses. Downstairs, the full unfinished basement provides even more room, and future potential either for entertaining, movie nights, a recreation room or home gym. Outside, enjoy a spacious rear yard where you can gather with friends or sit for hours and watch the kids play. Improvements include a new roof on the house in 2022, new furnace, A/C and plumbing fixtures in 2020, plus kitchen, bath and flooring updates. Then there's the area. Firestone Park is a gateway to a wide variety of activities, including sports courts, playgrounds and programs at the Firestone Park Community Center, the nearby YMCA which offers everything from cardio fitness, open basketball, Silver Sneakers, adult aerobics, and before and after school programs, and the Firestone Metro Park has plenty of beautiful scenery and landscapes for you to enjoy. It's a gem of a neighborhood, known for its walkable close-knit community, unique small businesses and, like many other places in our city, friendly people. You won't want to let this one pass you by!
