The Brengartners have lived in their 1938 expanded Cape for 49 years and raised their daughters there. The 41-by-215-foot property accommodates the five-bedroom, 3½-bath home, a detached, one-car garage and an above-ground pool with an attached deck. Mary Ellen talks about the appeal of the home:
“It’s a nice, happy and spacious home. We added an extension off the back of the house 10 to 12 years ago and brought my mother-in-law to live with us. We built her a living room, a large bedroom and a full bathroom. We added a huge family room ... with a cathedral ceiling and glass all along the back. It’s my favorite area of the home. The extension we added has central air-conditioning, and there’s a gas fireplace in the family room. The other fireplace [wood-burning] is in the living room. The yard runs 225 feet deep. Children can run and play in the backyard.”
