About This Home
As of October 2025Tucked away on a quiet Mt. Washington street, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath retreat is a secret cottage in the trees yet minutes from the vibrant heart of the city. With leafy views all around and sunlight pouring through the windows, the home radiates warmth, charm, and calm.The open kitchen blends character and function with moody soapstone counters, generous cabinetry, and playful terracotta tile underfoot. Just outside, a brick terrace offers the perfect spot for a morning coffee or an intimate dinner surrounded by greenery. Inside, vintage wood floors, a marble-tiled bathroom with walk-in shower, and a delightful brick fireplace (decorative) add timeless appeal. The sunlit upstairs bedroom, with vaulted ceilings and views into the tree canopy, creates a dreamy retreat, while the bonus office provides the perfect spot for creative projects or work-from-home days. Outdoors, feels like its own enchanted world. A lush yard with mature citrus, winding greenery, and an expansive tiled pergola sets the stage for twilight meals, weekend gatherings, or quiet evenings under the stars. A glowing gas firepit extends the season for outdoor living, while mini-split systems inside keep comfort effortless year-round. With Highland Park's buzzing shops, eateries, and nightlife just minutes away and easy access to the 2, 5, and 110 this Mt. Washington idyll offers the best of both worlds: a peaceful sanctuary with an urban soul. Come fall in love.
