    What's special

    Cottage Whimsy at Its Best! “Charming” doesn’t quite do justice to this lovingly restored and uniquely styled home. Overflowing with personality and warmth, this delightful corner property has a character that only a classic older home can offer—plus modern updates that bring comfort and function. In fact, the current owner’s flair for design was even featured in an HGTV segment! Start your mornings on the inviting front porch—perfect for coffee and sunrise watching. Inside, the first floor has been taken down to the studs and reimagined with a fresh, open layout. The cheerful kitchen features a double oven with convection cooking, extensive Soapstone countertops, and an airy flow into the dining area, complete with window seat storage and charming wainscoting. From here, step out to a cozy covered porch overlooking the rear patio, where you'll enjoy your evenings under the stars. Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms, including a sunny main bedroom with wood floors and multiple windows. A convenient half bath is located in one of the rear bedrooms (because who doesn't need a second toilet?). There's also ample closet space and pull-down access to attic storage. The lower level is semi-finished, with shiplap-accented walls and another half bath currently being completed—just awaiting the contractor’s final touches. Recent upgrades include a new roof on both the house and garage, replacement windows throughout, a tankless hot water heater, and even a generator hookup for peace of mind. This home is full of heart, history, and thoughtful improvements. Come see the magic for yourself.
