Description

Cottage-Inspired Cape Cod Retreat with In-Law Suite on Nearly 2 Acres in Spring-Ford School District! Welcome to your own private sanctuary—this charming Cape Cod-style home offers the perfect balance of timeless character, modern updates, and flexible living options, all set on nearly 2 beautifully landscaped acres. Shielded from the road by mature trees and fencing, the property features peaceful gardens, a tranquil stream, and even a small pond—an oasis of nature just minutes from everyday conveniences. Inside, the main home offers 3 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms, blending original charm with thoughtful renovations. The kitchen was completely redone in 2011 with updated countertops, electric cooking, all new appliances, drywall, insulation, and flooring. The living room was reconfigured in 2014 to add a cozy den and first-floor laundry, while the original side porch was finished in 2024 into a bright home office. Upstairs, you’ll find three comfortable bedrooms, including a refreshed primary suite (2019) with custom closet organizers, and a full bath renovated in 2015. The home has seen extensive system upgrades for peace of mind: new roof (2019), 200-amp electric service, updated plumbing and electrical, new well pump and system (2019), electric hot water heater (2019), and a new HVAC system (2022). A full walk-out basement provides ample storage and easy access to the lower driveway. Step outside to a spacious back deck overlooking the gardens and natural landscape—perfect for entertaining, dining, or quiet evenings surrounded by wildlife. Adding incredible versatility, a large second building includes 1.5 baths, a lower-level workshop/garage space and a finished family/game room. Above, a sun-filled apartment with cathedral ceilings, kitchen, and full bath offers endless options—whether as an in-law or au pair suite, home office or studio, guest quarters, or rental income opportunity. Previously used as an Airbnb and art studio, it has generated up to $30K annually. The property is also subdividable, making it a strong investment opportunity in addition to being a truly unique retreat. Recent improvements across both buildings include new roofs, heating/cooling systems, water heater, and more—yet there’s still room for you to add your own touches. Whether you’re searching for multigenerational living, a private oasis, or a home with strong income potential, this rare gem in the award-winning Spring-Ford School District has it all.
