About This Home

This home is guaranteed to be the Best Place you'll ever live! (Several photos were virtually staged to look like the home when the seller lived here. The oversized backyard is large enough for a pool, so I added a virtual one. This beautifully updated cottage blends timeless charm with thoughtful modern upgrades. When the current owner purchased the home, it had just undergone a complete makeover, and over the past five years, he has added even more value. Exterior improvements include a newly added parking area and driveway, custom-built front and back steps, new exterior lighting, fresh paint, and a TUFF Shed for additional storage, which stays with the property. Step inside to a warm, inviting living room featuring the original fireplace and mantel, authentic pine flooring, solid wood doors, and charming architectural details like arched entryways. The kitchen boasts a gas cooktop with an overhead vent and appliances that are just five years old. The remodeled bathroom features beautiful period tile and built-in storage solutions. There are two cozy bedrooms — one with a planked ceiling and the other with a wood accent wall, adding rustic charm and personality. Outdoors, enjoy summer BBQs on the defined patio space and relax in the spacious, private backyard. No restrictions for rentals and a large enough lot to use as you see fit. This home is truly move-in ready and full of character — a rare gem you won’t want to miss!
