New to Market! Rare opportunity to own an expansive 3.2-acre private oasis. A long, scenic driveway creates a beautiful entryway to a deeply private parcel featuring a massive, landscaped rear yard. The property includes a charming, highly livable 3-bed, 2-full bath Cape style home with classic hardwood floors throughout, a fireplaced living room, a formal dining room, and a sunroom overlooking the expansive grounds. Enjoy peace of mind with recent updates, including a newer roof and a modernized kitchen complete with stone countertops and stainless steel appliances. While conservation wetlands preserve the natural beauty and privacy of your surroundings, the land offers incredible flexibility. Bring your vision to life on this sprawling lot by adding a separate detached ADU for extended family or rental income, installing an expansive pool, building a detached garage, or expanding the current home. Alternatively, clear the site to construct your dream luxury estate. Whether you choose to enjoy the updated Cape as-is, expand over time, or build brand new, this unique property provides an unmatched canvas of space, privacy, and long-term potential just minutes from local shopping and highway access. Buyer to perform all due diligence regarding building expansion and ADU permitting.
