Fabulous light-filled East Hill cottage on the outside and classic style within. Built in 1912. All you could ask for - lovely hardwoods, gourmet kitchen (seriously, the owner is a chef!), 12-foot beadboard ceilings, overdoor transom windows, fireplace, plantation shutters, and more. Gorgeous 3 bedroom or 2 bedroom/office and 2 bath home. You'll be captivated from the wide, lovely foyer, past the bedrooms/office, through a formal dining room and into a spacious, corner family room with an abundance of windows and natural light. The cabinetry and trim is exceptional from the white baseboards and moulding to the French doors off the foyer to the 3rd bedroom/office, the fireplace, the built in bookcases, the kitchen detail. But of course there is more. The updated kitchen is a dream with an abundance of beadboard cabinetry and open shelving all the way to the high ceiling. The top shelves are perfect for displaying your lovely glassware and heirloom dishes. No detail has been overlooked from the Bosch dishwasher to the gourmet stainless chef's gas range and hood. There is a perfectly chosen farmhouse sink. Appliances including Samsung washer and dryer remain. A bistro style table and chairs would fit nicely and offer perfect informal dining. Even the bathrooms are light-filled and spacious with tub/shower combinations, built in storage and pedestal sinks. The bedrooms have plenty of closet space and built ins. But there is more to come. The family room opens to a surprising, lovely and lush tropical fenced back yard with the feel of a hidden French Quarter courtyard complete with a brick patio leading to a fabulous, large, screened gazebo. The space is a perfect getaway or entertaining spot, sure to be an immediate favorite. There is off street parking an a single detached garage with extra storage. There is more storage in the attic. This is a charming home on one of the loveliest streets in East Hill, and one you will be pleased to call home.
