Come discover this charming, well maintained Cape nestled in a quiet country setting. In recent years, the home has undergone major upgrades including a new septic system, roof and siding on the main house, replacement windows, a whole-house water filtration system, and a new well tank so you can move right in with confidence. The two-car garage offers exceptional storage above that is ready to be finished as an ADU, playroom, den, or creative studio. From the garage, step through the inviting screened porch/breezeway into a bright, sunny kitchen with new appliances. Beautiful hardwood floors flow through the main level dining room, living room, and first-floor bedroom. Upstairs you'll find two generously sized bedrooms with hardwood floors, plus convenient second-floor laundry in the bathroom. The mostly finished lower level features a newer pellet stove, a half bath, and a flexible extra room perfect for a home gym, office, or whatever fits your lifestyle. Walk out to the large, private backyard surrounded by trees for privacy and offering plenty of lawn for outdoor living and play. A whole-house generator completes the package of thoughtful updates. Located in the highly regarded Oyster River School District, this move-in-ready home is just 8 minutes from downtown Durham and within walking distance of local trails. Showings begin immediately or come to the open house on Saturday August 22nd from 11AM-12:30PM.
