A home that makes everyday life easier. This true four-bedroom Cape offers room to spread out, an easy flow for gathering, and an expansive backyard ready for summer dinners, weekend barbecues, play, or simply unwinding at home. At the center is an updated kitchen with white Shaker soft-close cabinetry, seemingly endless counter space, and stainless steel appliances. Open connections to both the dining and living areas make it easy to cook while staying part of the conversation. Just beyond, a flexible mudroom/laundry room creates a convenient everyday landing spot and steps directly onto the patio overlooking the backyard. Hardwood floors run throughout the home, while recently replaced energy-efficient windows bring in an abundance of natural light. The living room is especially bright with its large picture window. Two sizeable first-floor bedrooms and an updated full bath offer flexibility for guests, a home office, or convenient one-level living. Upstairs, the dormered second floor provides two additional spacious bedrooms, hardwood floors, and another updated full bath. The attached one-car garage includes a heating element, making it useful beyond parking. Set in Stratford's North End, you're minutes from Hawley Lane shopping, the Merritt Parkway, I-95, Metro-North, restaurants, and everyday conveniences while coming home to a property with the space to enjoy life inside and out. It's a layout that adapts easily to busy weekdays and relaxed weekends.
