This spacious Cape-style home with a modern twist offers over 3,000 sq ft of thoughtfully designed living space-plus an additional 300 sq ft finished rec room in the basement. The heart of the home is the expansive kitchen, featuring granite countertops, a center island with a built-in microwave drawer, and premium stainless steel appliances including a Wolf 6-burner dual fuel range, Viking double-door refrigerator, and Bosch dishwasher. The tiled mudroom and second staircase leading to a versatile bonus room (perfect home office, playroom, or home gym!) add function and flexibility. A standout feature is the well-designed in-law suite, added in 2004, offering endless possibilities-use it as a private guest space, home office, au pair suite, or even a luxurious first-floor primary. The suite has its own exterior entrance as well as access through the main family room. Natural light fills this open-concept home, enhanced by vaulted ceilings, skylights, and two fireplaces-one propane and one wood-burning-for year-round comfort. Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms, including the primary suite and an updated full bath. Don’t miss this exceptional property that blends classic charm with contemporary features, all just minutes from town, top-rated schools, beautiful beaches, and convenient commuting options.
