This charming Morningside cottage blends timeless character with thoughtful updates and a warm, functional layout. A newly added front porch enhances the curb appeal, while the reimagined front yard cleared and sodded for maximum usability creates a welcoming, open feel. Inside, refinished hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and classic millwork provide a warm backdrop for everyday living. The open-concept kitchen offers generous cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, and an adjacent mudroom. A vaulted screened porch with skylights provides a peaceful retreat, overlooking a private and charming backyard. The fireside family room, formal living and dining rooms, sunroom, and separate office offer ample flexibility. The oversized primary suite is a standout feature at this price point, with space for a seating area or sofa, dual closets, and a spa-like bath with soaking tub, separate shower, and double vanity. Three additional bedrooms and an updated hall bath complete the home. Walkable to Morningside Village and Virginia Highland this is truly a special home in one of Intown’s most beloved neighborhoods.
