Some houses have “o”. You see a photo of the facade and say, “I want to know more.” This bungalow in this North Shore town fits that example.

Reaching the colonnaded and covered front porch is 11 steps from the sidewalk. The windows to the left provide a generous windbreak from the sometimes unforgiving New England weather.

The front door opens directly to the 253-square-foot living room, where the home’s updates are evident. The oak flooring is new, and the room features a propane fireplace surrounded by quartz and built-in cabinetry, as well as a modern light fixture with recessed lighting, crown molding, and gold-toned handles.

The layout flows to the right into a 286-square-foot formal dining area, which currently features a long table for six with large upholstered chairs. A modern light fixture with golden arms extends above it and ends with candle-like bulbs. Light filters through the bay window and black-framed French doors onto the deck.

The dining room is open to the kitchen, a 143-square-foot redesigned space that includes a quartz-topped island. The island has elegant waterfall edges. Two pendant lamps with large shades hang above the island, which has a gold faucet and sink.

Sleek white cabinets feature gold-toned handles, quartz slab forms the back panel, and appliances, including the gas hob, are stainless steel.

A short hallway leads upstairs past the stairwell and onto the left side of the house, where the family room, half bath and master suite are located.

The 230-square-foot family room offers four windows, new oak flooring, a neutral color palette used throughout the house, and access to the living room.

The primary suite features 235 square feet of bedroom space, a pair of windows overlooking the backyard, new oak flooring, and a 39-square-foot walk-in closet. The updated ensuite bathroom features a quartz-topped ribbed double vanity, two gold-framed mirrors with matching faucets, porcelain tile flooring, and a shower with clear glass doors and porcelain around and underfoot.

On the second floor there are two bedrooms ranging from 207 to 219 square meters. They share a bathroom with porcelain tile floors, a single vanity with a quartz top, gold-toned faucets and cabinet handles, and a tub/shower combination with ceramic subway tile surrounds.

The walk-out lower level contains plenty of room, including approximately 667 square meters with oak flooring and above-ground windows, a 116 square meter storage area, and 508 square meters of unfinished space.

The 0.29-acre lot includes a two-car detached garage and a flat fenced backyard.

Other updates include new plumbing, electrical and heating (forced hot air/propane gas), ventilation and air conditioning systems.
