Privately sited on just over a half-acre lot in the city, this move-in ready 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath antique Cape offers a rare combination of seclusion, convenience, and beautiful urban views. Tucked into the hillside and surrounded by lush greenery, the property feels peaceful and tucked away while still being close to everything. Since its last purchase, the home has seen extensive energy-efficiency and comfort upgrades, including full re-insulation of the house, a sealed and insulated basement, and the installation of a high-efficiency heat pump water heater. A mini-split heating and air conditioning system provides year-round comfort, while the oil furnace burner has also been replaced for added reliability. Additional recent improvements include a Level II EV car charger, resurfaced driveway, new kitchen stove, and fresh interior paint throughout most of the home. Inside, the home features an updated kitchen with newer appliances, dining room, renovated half bath and laundry room with washer and dryer, updated full bath, added storage, walk-in closet, updated lighting and fixtures, and newer flooring throughout. Previous major renovations also included replacement windows, updated electrical wiring and plumbing, new sheetrock, Buderus boiler, and chimney improvements. Outside, enjoy the large flat parking area and yard, privacy around the perimeter of the property, and a covered screened-in porch perfect for relaxing and taking in the surrounding greenery and city views.
