Property Description

"Everyone LOVES a Cape Cod home! Especially when it's located in Lakeside. First time on the market in 40 years. With his family raised here and gone, the owner has decided to move on to the next chapter of his life. This adorable gem is nestled in the quiet heart of Lakeside, and mere minutes to schools, shopping, and internet access. This home has a number of nooks and crannies. The side porch has been enclosed and is currently being used as a sunny plant room - it could be a wonderful office, study, or quiet place to get away. In the back is the cozy den with a brick, wood-burning fireplace (This room could use a cosmetic overhaul.). The downstairs bathroom was enlarged and updated. The downstairs is cooled by central air conditioning and the upstairs is cooled by window units. The upstairs bathroom was added and outfitted with a deep bathtub. Situated on a level lot with mature plants (You should see all of the pollenators in this yard!!!). A lovely fenced backyard with a deck off of the kitchen and a ground-level patio, 2 sheds - one with its own deck, and mature shade trees in the back. The yard is a pollinator's paradise! Plantings in the yard include peonies, various lillies, bee balm, brown-eyed susans, canna lillies, numerous butterfly bushes (buddlea), and beauty berry bushes. Dimentional roof is in great shape. Wonderful neighbors - iconic community. BUILD SWEAT EQUITY - This gem of a home needs a bit of polishing in order to make it shine. To see what is needed, ask for a copy of the whole house inspection report that was conducted just prior to going onto the market. Although this house needs some updating and TLC, you can live here while you work on it. Come and make it your own. Seller is flexible on closing. Welcome home !"
