Built in 1938

Nestled in a tree-lined, quiet neighborhood in the heart of Historic Valley Junction, this beautifully maintained Cape Cod-style home has been lovingly cared for by the same family for 46 years. Built in 1938, this charming home retains its original doors and hardware, adding timeless character to its design. With nearly 1,800 sq. ft. of finished space, it features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a partially finished lower level. As you step inside, you're greeted by a formal living room that flows seamlessly into the dining room, creating a warm and inviting space for entertaining or relaxing. Beyond that, a spacious family room awaits, complete with a wood-burning fireplace, beamed ceiling, and abundant natural light. The updated kitchen is a standout, featuring quartz countertops, a stylish tile backsplash, and upgraded cabinets with soft-close hinges and pull-out drawers for enhanced functionality. Recent updates, including the roof and HVAC, provide peace of mind, while the composite deck offers a low-maintenance outdoor space perfect for gatherings. The oversized 2-car garage ensures ample room for storage. Located just minutes from local favorites like Either/Or and the Greenbelt Trail, this home blends modern updates with an unbeatable location. As a bonus, it qualifies for the WDM Home Improvement program and downpayment assistance--ask your realtor for details!
