From the street, the home presents a classic, symmetrical profile anchored by white lap siding, dark shingle roofing, and black window shutters framing multi-pane sash windows. A decorative lantern post guards the wide driveway, leading toward an attached single-car garage featuring a chevron-paneled door.
Rather than sticking strictly to the modest, low-sloped Cape Cods of the late 1940s, Sabotka expanded this design into a sprawling 66-foot wide footprint. An enclosed side porch acts as a seamless connector between the main house and the garage, offering sheltered indoor-outdoor transition.
The most remarkable feature of the ground floor is the back-to-back masonry chimney core serving two distinct living zones. The vast Living Room (22'2" x 15'0") provides a formal sanctuary anchored by its own fireplace, while the adjacent Family Room (18'0" x 11'8") boasts a second dedicated fireplace for casual evening relaxation. Adjacent to the entry sits a flexible 13' x 15' room, ideal as a formal dining room for Sunday dinners or as a quiet first-floor den/library. The kitchen (15'6" x 11'8") includes a dedicated breakfast/dining nook and leads directly to a dedicated main-floor laundry room (LDRY), a guest lavatory (LAV), pantry storage, and direct access out to the covered porch and garage.
Ascending the central staircase leads to a well-proportioned sleeping level designed to maximize the pitch of the roof envelope. A massive 13'0" x 21'7" bedroom running the full depth of the right wing, complete with a closet and access to continuous wall storage under the roof eaves. There are 2 more bedrooms and a bath centrally positioned off the hallway, equipped with a full bathtub, vanity, toilet, and an adjacent linen closet (L).
