PEMBROKE, Massachusetts: Classic Cape Cod charmer (8 rms)
nestled in a Garden Lover’s dream come true—a leafy PARK-LIKE paradise
of prize-winning perennial beds studded with hundreds of unusual mature
& rare Ornamental Trees and Shrubs, sheltered by tall old-growth
whispering pines in a completely private and attractively fenced .97
acre setting. Your family can thrive here.
You will be very close to Route 3 into Boston, Commuter Rail to South
Station, and Cape Cod, Marthas Vineyard & Nantucket.
The carefully maintained home has 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, cozy fireplaced
living room, formal dining room, slate-floored sun room, brick patio.
Every room is light, bright, and inviting. You have ultimate privacy
here with no close neighbors and a border of tall rhodies and wonderful
tall pine trees between edge of property & street.
All systems are in top working condition and the electrical wiring in
the home was replaced and upgraded by current owner. Heat is hot water
by oil, quiet and clean (baseboards); there are wall mounted air
conditioners in 4 of the rooms; an attic fan refreshes and cools the
whole house. Owner added fiberglass insulation to attic and basement.
Home is exceedingly energy efficient and the construction is solid. 3
heating zones add to your ability to heat the home economically.
You will enjoy relaxing hours on the pretty brick patio or in the
glass-walled sun room. The landscaped gardens around this home abound in
beauty and interest year-round and require almost no care. Each tree and
shrub was selected by a professional horticulturist, for maximum beauty,
bug resistance, and minimum care. Every outlook presents a varied scene
of shady vistas and sun-dappled flower beds.
