What's special

Fully encapsulated basementPrivate gated saltwater poolOpen floor planCompletely renovated residenceExceptional natural lightTwo dining spacesBeautifully updated bathroom

A completely renovated residence in the historic Joffre neighborhood, this 4bd/3.5ba home is a rare find—one of the few offering this scale of renovation, square footage, and a private saltwater pool. While maintaining its Cape Cod charm, the home was taken down to the studs and rebuilt for modern living, with new roof, electrical, and plumbing (2022). A fully encapsulated crawlspace (2023) adds efficiency and peace of mind. Filled with exceptional natural light, the open floor plan includes two living and dining spaces, allowing effortless flow for entertaining while staying connected. The primary suite is on the main level with a spa-inspired bath, and the fourth bedroom offers flexibility as an office or guest space. Outdoors, enjoy a private, gated saltwater pool with exterior-access pool bath on a beautiful corner lot.
