Listing broker remarks

This charming ranch delivers the kind of character that's impossible to replicate — exposed beam ceilings, two wood-burning fireplaces and three-season porch to enjoy throughout the summer and fall. The large dining room sets the scene with its beamed ceiling and crackling fireplace, while the cozy living room invites you to kick back and relax. The eat-in kitchen is open to the family room giving you all the space you need for hosting without feeling like you're missing the party, The main floor checks every box: a large primary bedroom, two updated baths, and two additional bedrooms — all thoughtfully laid out and move-in ready. Step outside to a brick patio built for grilling season, plus a fully usable lot with room to garden, play, or simply breathe. Peace of mind comes built-in with updates since 2018 including a new heating system, insulated oil tank, Septic, French drain, exterior paint, generator hookup, power vent, and partial new roof. Just minutes to beaches and harbor!— William Raveis R.E. & Home Services
