This charming 1930 country cottage is a two bedroom with one bath, located on a nice shaded lot with a lovely view of the neighbor's lake and park like acreage. As you approach the inviting cozy covered front porch, you pass a large low maintenance perennial flowering bed providing many blossoms from spring to fall. Entering the living room through the wooden front door with faux stained glass half window, you notice the charm of the past, with original wooden trim, along with the modern, updated color palette, luxury vinyl floors, and ceiling fan. The kitchen was fully renovated in 2017, including cabinetry, counter tops, appliances and flooring. Your eyes will be drawn to the sparkling glass backsplash, shiny granite countertops, bright under counter lighting, and the top of line stainless steel appliances, including Samsung French Door refrigerator with two ice makers, Frigidaire Gallery 5 burner natural gas range with self cleaning oven, Frigidaire Gallery over range microwave, and Bosch super quiet 46 dBA dishwasher with stainless steel interior. Both bedrooms have access to the renovated Jack-n-Jill bathroom, which has a double sink vanity, medicine cabinet over the new toilet, the tub has a new handheld Delta messaging shower head. In 2017, both bedrooms were renovated to add closets and new carpeting. The primary bedroom features a ceiling fan providing a continuous relaxing breeze. Both rooms have two large windows giving great natural lighting, and a view of the lake looking out the west facing windows. The laundry room/rear entry was remodeled in 2023. New easy to maintain paneling was added to the walls, along with a stainless steel deep utility sink with pull down faucet, new Closet Maid wire shelves, giving generous storage space, and the floor was painted with gray fleck epoxy. This space is also home to an upright freezer, movable air conditioning unit, and a wire shelving unit. These maybe available at the buyer's discretion. The large six shelf unit on the west wall will be retained by the sellers. Stairs in the laundry lead down to a small partial basement, which has the electrical panel, an electric hot water heater, and a sump pump. Driving up the oversized paved asphalt driveway, added in 2018, with parking for 5+ vehicles, leads to the partially enclosed 1.5 car carport. You may be spellbound by the beautiful view of the lake and rolling hills to the west. These spaces combine to make a great outdoor area for gatherings of family and friends. Directly behind the house is a quaint yard building made from reclaimed timber beams and aged wooden siding from an old barn.
