Property Description

Don't let the cottage charm fool you. At 2,118 square feet, this 3 bedroom, 3 full bath home lives much larger than it looks. Gorgeous bamboo floors run throughout, and the kitchen has been updated for anyone who actually likes to cook: granite counters, a deep farmhouse sink, a five burner ceramic cooktop, and a built in wall oven. Cozy is built into the design here. Electric fireplaces on both levels set the mood, and several ceiling fans even include ceramic heaters for year round comfort. Then there's the fun part. The dining area features a built in desk and a bookcase door that swings open to reveal a hidden room complete with a safe. Yes, really. Upstairs is its own private retreat: a bedroom, a living area with a kitchenette, and a full bath with a walk in shower. Perfect for guests, a home office suite, or multigenerational living. Out back, the original garage offers alley access and a small workshop for projects and storage. The home has been a reliable rental and is currently being refreshed, making this a great opportunity for a buyer ready to add their finishing touches and build instant value.
