For over 40 years, this special Cape Cod has been more than just a house, it has been home. Tucked away on the corner of Castle Drive in Stratford's desirable North End, this lovingly maintained property has been cared for by the same owner since 1984 & is now ready to welcome its next chapter. Set on an oversized .34-acre lot, nearly twice the size of many neighborhood properties, the home offers an abundance of outdoor space to enjoy, garden, entertain, or simply relax. A rear patio provides the perfect setting for summer gatherings, while the attached two-car garage & connecting breezeway add convenience and charm. Inside, you'll find a warm & inviting floor plan featuring hardwood flooring throughout most of the home, decorative wood-like beams in the living room, & a wood-burning fireplace with insert for cozy New England evenings. The main level offers a spacious living room, dining room, applianced kitchen with tile flooring, newer dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave, & electric range, along with a full bath & a first-floor bedroom with double-door closet that functions beautifully as a main floor primary bedroom. Upstairs are two additional larger bedrooms, while the unfinished basement provides exceptional storage space & includes a washer, dryer, scrub sink, & convenient newer Bilco door access to the backyard. Important updates include a roof replaced in 2023, first-floor replacement windows, oil tank replaced in 2018, newer Bilco door, security system, and camera
