Our customers love this front elevation because of its symmetrical design – in traditional Cape Cod style, of course. Symmetry continues throughout the ample floor plan. A formal dining room and living room welcome you at the front door, flanking the foyer. Then, continue on to find the family room, highlighted by a warm central fireplace. Travel to the right side to find a lovely eat-in kitchen and spacious utility room. Mirroring that space on the left is the master bedroom, a secluded getaway for its owners. Keep the children’s clutter at bay upstairs. Here, you’ll find three family bedrooms partnered with two bathrooms, one a private ensuite and the other Jack-and-Jill-style to share.
