25 Maplewood Avenue

LOVE IT TODAY AND DREAM YOUR TOMORROW! WOW!!! This light-filled cozy cape with 1800sf living space on 3-levels, 3-bedrooms and 2-1/2 baths (this includes the legal accessory apt with a separate kitchen, 1 bedroom and 1 bath) is INDEED A RARE FIND in its sought-after neighborhood --- and yields so much flexibility for the new owner to supplement income as needed! Where else in town do you have a chance to purchase a home with an EXISTING LEGAL accessory apartment, to draw income just as the current owner has. The legal, accessory apartment in Lower Level has been constantly rented privately to tenants by current owner since 2011 purchase at a recent $1425/month (no documentation available since tenant was there for years, with informal owner-tenant arrangement). Since accessory apartment access is via a separate private entry on the lower driveway off Willowbrook Drive and a separate #2 Willowbrook Drive mailbox, co-inhabitants of this house have a friendly and "relatively private" coexistence - rarely seeing each other.Current owner has shared the backyard and lower-level laundry room with tenants. Recently in retirement, the seller has rented the upstairs for $5750 via the MLS(reference listing #24013621) and lived in the lower level. Lease began August 2024 into mid January 2026. The 2-level, 2-bedroom "Main House" with about 1200sf has a Maplewood Ave entry, and was updated with new baths and kitchen (AND MORE) when current owner purchased in 2011. There through Maplewood Ave entry you walk into a light-filled and inviting open floor plan on main level that enables wonderful 1st floor entertaining flow. Living Room built-ins surround the fireplace ( consider fireplace non-working since not used by current owner, NO GUARANTEES.) Kitchen has stainless appliances, cabinetry and stone countertops from 2011. The bright private office right inside the front door makes your workspace an area for quiet focus, yet convenient to watch the world pass by -- or take a quick lunch break to walk around the block --- or walk less than a mile to restaurants nearby. About 600sf more living square footage is in the walkout legal accessory apartment on the Lower Level that's accessible from its own private entrance on the rear driveway along with interior access through the shared laundry on the Lower Level. The apartment has a kitchen, full bath and bedroom to optionally rent out, use as an office, in-law or 3rd bedroom. House has HVAC with a functioning and well-maintained oil furnace THAT IS OLD. The owner recommends and has used an air conditioning unit as a booster for the upstairs bedroom level since there is not a 2nd thermostat there or in the lower level. When new owner upgrades the HVAC unit, they should consider hooking up to the natural gas on Maplewood. Be sure to explore the current survey and talk to Town P&Z about both: (a)building out the house in context with survey and (b)LEGAL Accessory Apartments regulations. Also consult with your lawyer, builder and other experts about your options for expanding. The building setbacks are clearly defined on this survey and so are P&Z and Building regulations, so wisely weigh your options to contemplate your offer and make this your new home! Located in one of the sweetest, most walkable and bikeable neighborhoods that's also walkable to town, this home adds up to an amazing investment to LOVE TODAY (and forever as-is) -- or LOVE IT TODAY while you DREAM YOUR TOMORROW !!!!!
