Find yourself whisked away to an enchanted forest cottage—right in the heart of town—with this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch. Nestled within a lush tapestry of blooming hydrangeas, lilacs, and magnolias and framed by a white picket fence, this home is surrounded by flourishing gardens in every direction. From the moment you arrive, it feels like stepping into a fairy tale. Inside, you’ll be welcomed into a bright, airy living and dining space, drenched in natural light and anchored by a cozy wood-burning fireplace—perfect for curling up in colder months. The updated kitchen brings all the cottage-core charm with butcher block countertops, an antique enamel sink, and open shelving—balanced with a surprisingly spacious pantry for all your storage needs. A heated and cooled sunroom is the star of the show, offering flexible living space to suit your lifestyle as a second lounge, studio, or playroom. Each bedroom includes generous closet space and continues the whimsical vibe with custom wallpaper and charming accents. The partially finished basement adds another living area with a convenient kitchenette—ideal for movie nights or guests. Currently used as a home gym, the breezeway provides even more dynamic space—perfect for wellness, work, or relaxation. The attached two-car garage includes a pull-down attic and workshop space, and there’s a utility shed out back that conveys. Beautifully maintained and thoughtfully designed, this home is as versatile as it is inviting!
