On the Market: Easton Cape Cod colonial offers warm atmosphere
The sepia-colored Cape Cod colonial house at 346 North Park Avenue in Easton has nine rooms and almost 4,000 square feet of living space.
The sepia-colored Cape Cod colonial house with ivory trim, at 346 North Park Avenue in Easton, is a quintessentially cozy place for family and friends. “Cozy” here does not imply “small” as it sometimes can in real estate parlance. This house has nine rooms and almost 4,000 square feet of living space. “Cozy” here means snug, secure, pleasant, comfortable — a place where people want to gather and spend time together.
“As you step inside you will immediately feel the warmth of a loving home … The open flow of this home lends itself to comfortable family living and entertaining of any kind,” according to the listing agent.
The family room features a red brick fireplace.
It sits on a one-acre level and lightly wooded property in the Easton Center neighborhood, convenient to many local amenities and neighboring communities. The backyard features a raised wood deck and a circular paving stone patio with a fire pit, offering great places to sit and relax. And the yard invites old fashioned lawn games as well as more contemporary sporting activities.
The formal living room has a marble fireplace and two columns separating it from the formal dining room.
The Belgium block-lined driveway opens to provide ample parking for family members and guests. A covered walkway with a slate path along the attached two-car garage leads to the casual “side” entrance and the formal front door, both of which open into the 3,900-square-foot house, which was built in 1937. Chances are the garage, with a bonus room above, and the oversized, rounded sun room at the opposite end were added later as the house was updated to accommodate today’s lifestyle.
The spacious eat-in kitchen features a center island/breakfast bar, ample counters and cabinets, and walk-in pantry.
The front door opens into a two-story foyer with an interior balcony. In the family room there is a brick fireplace and bay window.
The spacious eat-in kitchen is at the heart of this home. It features a long center island topped with a wood counter that doubles as a breakfast bar for four or five people. There are also ample counters and cabinets, a walk-in pantry, white ceramic tile backsplash, built-in corner china cabinet, and a preparation sink area that can serve as a wet bar when entertaining.
In the dining room there is a wall of windows, French doors to the deck and yard, and two columns that separate it from the formal living room, where there is a marble fireplace and a door to the sun room. The size of the sun room allows for flexible use. The current family has it set up as both a place of relaxation and as a recreation space.
