Property Description
This darling east side cottage truly must be seen to be believed. Lovingly updated and improved over the years, this home is a beauty inside and out. Sitting on a large fenced lot with garden areas and an oversized detached two car garage, this home begins to work its charms on you before you even step in the front door. Once inside, you will appreciate the gleaming hardwood floors throughout. The cozy living room boasts a gas stove fireplace and opens to the spacious dining room. The main floor also offers a sunny office/bedroom, full bath and the gorgeous kitchen with fabulous cherry wood butlers pantry. Upstairs you'll find two more roomy, light-filled bedrooms with extra closet space and sweet window nooks. The unfinished basement is dry with a high ceiling and provides extra storage and workshop/workout space. Outside, relax on the delightful, maintenance-free back porch overlooking the spacious backyard and its fenced garden plot, flower beds, dog kennels and entertaining spaces. Mature evergreens provide visual interest year-round, and little touches like the cedar fence, perennial flower beds and newer limestone walkway to the front door complete the scene. Meticulously maintained with new Furnace and A/C 8/4/2023, roof was done in 2010, installed 220 electric service in about 2007.
