    What's special

    Stroll down the front brick walkway, between the willow oak trees and past the lovingly landscaped front yard to enter this 1939 cottage charmer in the Watts-Hillandale Historic District. The home offers 2-bedrooms, 1-bathroom, original historic details, hardwood floors, cozy breakfast nook, large deck and fenced backyard. The basement is perfect for storage and for those who like to tinker. It also has an unfinished attic with add-on potential. The home is located in a wonderfully engaged neighborhood.
