This meticulously loved and maintained Essex Junction cape is simply delightful! So close to everything, yet feels private and cozy with gorgeous landscaping, a fully-fenced yard, and interior conveniences galore. You'll walk in to a lovely open foyer with a built-in storage bench, and then on to the dining room with a cozy gas fireplace, abundant natural light and hardwood floors. The spacious and updated kitchen has a butcher block counter island area, recessed lighting, stainless steel appliances and a gas range. The large and inviting living room has plenty of room for gathering around another gas stove or the built-in window seating and storage bench. A first floor master bedroom with an ensuite bath (jetted tub!) and bonus closet/storage space rounds out the first floor. Upstairs you'll find two more bedrooms, a 1 3/4 bath, a bonus/playroom and a landing area perfect for an office. This house also boasts CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONING, central vacuum, and a dry basement that could be finished. There is an enclosed porch that opens up to a wonderful composite deck with natural gas hookups for your outdoor grill. All of this overlooks a huge fully-fenced and level back yard with the loveliest perennials and plenty of room for more. There is a shed and a workshop/storage area also on the property. This home has been so loved and cared for and it really shows! Come and see! OPEN HOUSE - Saturday 8/17 9am to 12pm!! Showings begin Saturday 8/17/2019.
