Property Description

Looking for that truly "Hidden Gem"? You've found it! Welcome home to your beautifully restored Cape Cod on Cardinal Lane where the location simply can't be beat. Over the last year, this home has had extensive updates to really make it pop! Located in the heart of the Southland neighborhood, this delightful 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath blends the best of classic character and modern charm. The main level showcases beautifully restored plaster walls, woodwork and ceilings —refreshed with a color called "spun cotton" to highlight the home's timeless appeal. The kitchen has been completely reimagined for today's lifestyle, with reconfigured and freshly painted cabinetry, new hardware, updated laminate countertops, and an extended layout that creates an inviting eat-in kitchen perfect for entertaining. Brand-new Whirlpool appliances include a side-by-side refrigerator, dishwasher, stove, and microwave and all are under warranty. Upgrades such as a new gas line for the stove, an electric line for the microwave, and added lighting above the sink enhance the form and function of the space. New vinyl flooring extends from the kitchen into the family room for a clean and more modern look, while the original hardwood oak floors in the rest of the house have been preserved to keep their character. Both bathrooms have been thoughtfully renovated with the same vinyl flooring, along with new vanities, sinks, and toilets. The primary bathroom received special consideration to update the plumbing, ventilation and professional restoration of the original tile and cast-iron bathtub. New lighting in the secondary powder room complete the fresh, cohesive feel. Modern LED ceiling fixtures on the main level include dimmer switches, and added can lights in the hallway and upstairs bedroom, along with the addition of extra electrical outlets add a convenient office nook. Other updates include rebuilt laundry enclosure with expanded storage, modern closet hardware added in the main-level bedrooms, removal of outdated ceiling fans, removal of outdated carpet in the family and bedrooms, and a new motion-sensor exterior side light for the driveway. The landscaping has been tended to and pruned professionally throughout the summer and fall to enhance the beauty of the existing and mature flowering trees, shrubs and flower beds that have evolved over a lifetime of love and care. With Spring right around the corner, you'll soon be enjoying the secluded backyard patio and the serenity of this peaceful and well-maintained oasis. After all, Cardinal Lane gets its name for a reason — it is a bird watchers paradise that you will love to listen to and watch from the expansive family room bay windows! This timeless Cape Cod with its brick exterior and immense curb appeal in Southland is truly move-in ready and offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a thoughtfully updated space in an established Lexington neighborhood.
