Set on a quiet street in the heart of Belford, this character-filled Cape is far more spacious than it appears! Wood floors, a cozy pellet stove and distinctive details bring warmth and personality throughout. The main level offers a primary bedroom, charming clawfoot tub, convenient mudroom, kitchen, dining room and nicely sized living room. Upstairs, a beautiful barn door with eye-catching hardware adds another touch of character and leads into a level offering a beautiful walk-in closet along with an additional bonus/flex room with possibilities for a home office, dressing room, hobby space or more. A basement adds even more room for storage and versatility. Outside, enjoy a beautiful fenced-in yard, oversized parking area and detached one-car garage. Nearby local shops, dining and transportation with convenient access to the Belford Ferry and NYC commuting options. From its unexpected space to its one-of-a-kind details, this is a home that reveals so much more once you're inside. Mark September 26th—this Belford gem deserves a closer look!
