About this 3 bedroom 2 bath house

Welcome to this impeccably maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath home filled with charm, character, and thoughtful updates. This delightful Cape located in one of Exeter's most desirable neighborhoods offers over 1,800 square feet of well-designed living space in a perfect package. Enter through the front door and be greeted by a formal sitting room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. Beyond, a tasteful kitchen and breakfast area provide a warm, functional space for everyday living and casual meals. At the heart of the home, an idyllic family room added in 2006 overlooks the private backyard-- a space made for slow mornings, gathering with family, and watching the seasons change. The first-floor primary bedroom offers the ease of single-level living, and an additional bedroom on the 1st floor provides flexible space for guests, home office, or studio work. Continue upstairs to the 3rd bedroom, 3/4 bath and additional room perfect for a home office, guest space or reading nook. Off the 1-car garage, a cozy den with custom built-ins adapts to however you live-- a sitting room, mudroom, or extra living space. The den opens to a charming three-season porch, extending your living space and bringing the outdoors in. Newer windows throughout most of the home bring in plenty of natural light while adding efficiency and peace of mind. Solid construction, warm character, and a peaceful, private setting make this a home that feels both substantial and inspiring. Tucked into a quiet neighborhood yet walkable to downtown restaurants, shops, and Phillips Exeter Academy, this home offers the perfect blend of charm, accessibility, and modern comfort. Showings begin Friday.
