    What's special

    CHARMING VICTORIAN COTTAGE WITH NEW GROUND LEVEL ADDITION. Step into the elegance of this beautifully updated 4 bedroom and 2-bath Victorian cottage with over 2000 sq. ft. and expansion possibility. This inviting home offers a perfect blend of historic character and thoughtful updates, all just steps from the vibrant heart of Park Street. The original main level features three bedrooms and one bath, showcasing 12-foot ceilings, picture railings, high baseboards, decorative archways, and a stunning box bay window that fills the space with natural light. Freshly painted in soft white complemented by natural colored refinished fir floors every detail enhances the home's warm and welcoming atmosphere. A standout feature is the sunny front porch and the original entryway, adorned with a transom window and elegant double Eastlake doors. The formal private entry makes an enchanting first impression. The kitchen and spacious eating area overlook the lush backyard, where a shady avocado tree, a manicured lawn, and mature landscaping create a peaceful retreat. The gated driveway provides off-street parking for three cars or an RV (setback approval may be required) and includes an EV charging station. Both walkable and bikeable, this home is ideally located just a few blocks from Park.
