About This Home

Charming, move-in ready cottage on two parcels! Don't let the size fool you-this thoughtfully designed 2-bedroom, 1-bath home makes the most of every square foot while offering the perfect blend of comfort, character, and modern updates. Step inside to find a bright, freshly painted interior with beautiful new flooring throughout. The functional eat-in kitchen provides a cozy space for everyday meals, while the full unfinished basement offers abundant storage or room to expand in the future. Outside, you'll appreciate the spacious yard spanning two parcels, offering plenty of room for pets, gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying the outdoors. The yard is partially fenced and features a charming pergola-covered patio-the perfect spot for morning coffee, relaxing evenings, or gathering with family and friends. A detached two-car garage provides excellent parking, storage, or workshop space. With new siding, new flooring, fresh paint, and nothing left to do but move in, this adorable cottage is ready for its next owner to make it home. Whether you're a first-time buyer, looking to downsize, or searching for an investment opportunity, you'll love the warmth, charm, and value this sweet property has to offer. Some listing photos have been virtually staged to illustrate the home's potential and inspire decorating ideas.
