This 1947 Cape Cod-style home on a quiet West Brant street has been kept in good order. The kitchen is the clear high point — white shaker cabinets, black hardware, subway tile backsplash, and a stainless gas range make it feel current without being overdone. The rest of the main floor is functional and clean, with refreshed laminate floors, but the single bathroom is original and overdue for an update.
The upper loft adds a second sleeping area but comes with the limitations of a sloped ceiling and older carpet. There is no basement — just a crawl space.
The backyard is a practical bonus: a proper workshop with hydro and a workbench, a covered bistro area with string lights, a garden shed, and patio stones throughout. Good for someone who wants usable outdoor space without a lot of upkeep.
