COTUIT — Right when you walk in, you can tell that this two-story Colonial Revival has a nice flow. The open foyer leads into a spacious front-facing living room, and from here an open entryway leads to the kitchen/dining area. A sliding glass door out to the back deck lets in lots of light, and makes excellent use of space. What’s more, the interior in the entire home has been all tastefully updated. We see clear lines on walls via horizontal natural-look paneling — these types of “industrial farmhouse” lines, we’ve been told, have been trending for 2020: attractive wood-look laminate flooring throughout and plantation shutters on windows. The kitchen is the centerpiece, with all stainless-steel appliances, marble subway tile and white cabinetry offering a super clean look. Horizontal paneling continues on kitchen walls and around the counter. There is plenty of gathering space here, and the back deck is perfect for summer get-togethers, with a huge, fenced backyard an added bonus.

A little nook with a built-in seat make a perfect mud room area coming in from the two-car garage; a decent-sized updated half bath features here. Past the kitchen is a formal dining room, then a sitting room/den with a wood-burning fireplace, completing the first-floor plan in a nice circular flow. “It’s very open for a Colonial,” said Realtor Nicky Fountain.

Upstairs, the flow and the updates continue, in this case with white beadboard wainscoting in all of the bedrooms. The master suite features a huge walk-in closet, hardwood floors and recessed lighting, and hardwood floors continue down the hall to an open space where a washer and dryer fit perfectly. The two other bedrooms feature here.

Even the basement in this home has been tastefully finished, with a large, open space making for the perfect entertainment center.

This home is situated in a desirable Cotuit neighborhood, quiet but not far from town, and right near Eagle Pond, which features a multitude of trails through the woods. Grab the dogs and head out for a walk on a pretty fall day.
