About This Home
As of April 2025Majestically sited on a gentle knoll this updated Janes Cottage is well-located on a quiet shady block. The gracious front porch overlooks the verdant front lawn and mature landscape. Beyond the front door is an impressive living room with barrel vaulted ceiling and stately fireplace. There is a pair of French doors that provide access to the 3rd bedroom, perfect for a sunny home office. Beyond the living room is the dining area and open kitchen. The kitchen has rich dark wood cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and granite counters. Adjacent to the kitchen, is a short hallway that provides access to two bedrooms and the renovated bathroom. As a bonus, this home includes a den/family room and a laundry room that a previous owner added without the benefit of permits. The public rooms all open to the large terraced backyard with built-in BBQ and finished 1-car garage with additional storage, attic/loft with pulldown stairs, custom cabinets, and a workbench. This lovely house with a new roof (2020) is move-in ready and just waiting for a new owner to call it home.
