This charming 3+ bed, 3 bath Cape has curb appeal and picturesque water and ridgeline views!  Nestled in a country setting, this charming home sits up, cute as a button, above the Jacksonville Pond. A gently sloping yard, excellent open space & giant maples create a perfect backdrop to enjoy the beauty of this landscape.  A paved driveway leads to a convenient carport with a covered walkway to the entry. Inside, the main floor of this home is a classic design that includes a spacious eat-in kitchen w/breakfast bar, formal dining, and living room with a gas fireplace. The living room and kitchen both have large picture windows framing a tranquil view of the backyard and pond below. The main floor also has a guest half bath PLUS den with its own half bath. On the second floor, you'll discover three bedrooms all with hardwood floors. The spacious primary bedroom features a cozy window seat and a generous closet. Two additional bedrooms showcase delightful built-in features, adding character to the spaces. A full bathroom is also on this level.  The lower level of the house is a partially finished walk-out basement with an office ( or play space!)  which includes a full window and a door for proper egress that opens up to the backyard. Located near the heart of a quaint village, downtown Jacksonville offers a country store, deli & bakery, and gas station allowing you to savor the simplicity and charm of rural living with close proximity to everyday conveniences.
