Description

This charming Cape Cod in Hamilton Park offers 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and a beautifully landscaped corner lot. To say this home has been well maintained and well loved is an understatement. Inside, you'll find hardwood floors and a brick wood-burning fireplace that create a warm, inviting atmosphere with a cozy, cabin-like feel. These owners have taken care of the heavy lifting so the next owner can focus on making it their own. Major updates include a new hot water heater (2023), roof (2015), and AC (2018). They've also installed a water treatment system, radon mitigation system, and leaf filter system on the gutters. In 2024, new attic insulation was added to maximize energy efficiency, complemented by economical gas heat. The fenced-in yard provides peace of mind for pets or little ones, while raised garden beds await your green thumb. Located within walking distance to parks and schools and offering easy access to the city, this home blends comfort, convenience, and community. The sellers have truly loved this home and neighborhood since 2013, and while they are relocating to another area, they hope the next owners will appreciate it just as much.
