About This Home

As of February 2026

This charming English-style cottage is set in a quiet, private neighborhood with beautiful outdoor views. Abundant natural light fills the home, showcasing hardwood floors, classic divided-light windows, and a functional layout. A welcoming foyer with a vaulted ceiling and decorative entry door opens to a spacious living room featuring a striking stone, wood-burning fireplace. The formal dining room overlooks the backyard and connects seamlessly to the kitchen and a stunning four-season sunroom-ideal for working from home or relaxing year-round-surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows. The kitchen combines timeless design with everyday convenience, offering stone countertops and stainless steel appliances. Two spacious bedrooms and a full hall bath complete the main level, while the lower level provides endless potential for additional living space and sufficient storage. A detached 21/2-car garage with a walk-up storage loft and an extra parking pad complete this home, which perfectly blends classic cottage charm with modern comfort.
