The cozy cottage you've been manifesting just hit the market and is ready for you to move-in today. Tucked away on a quiet road just off M-15, this charming 1,000 sq ft ranch sits on easy-to-maintain lot that's perfect for first-time buyers, downsizers, or anyone looking to trade endless weekends of yard work for a simpler lifestyle. Inside, the thoughtfully designed layout feels surprisingly spacious, featuring vaulted ceilings, an open living room and kitchen, and cohesive engineered hardwood flooring throughout the main living areas. Warm oak cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and generous counter space create a functional kitchen ready for everyday living. Both bedrooms continue the engineered hardwood flooring and are accented by thick trim that adds character and charm. Off the kitchen is practical laundry and mudroom—an ideal drop zone for coats, shoes, and everyday essentials before leading to back deck. A detached 1.5-car garage provides additional storage and workspace. Whether you're ready to move right in or excited to add your own style over time, this home's manageable size makes it an ideal project for buyers looking to build equity without taking on an overwhelming renovation. City water and sewer, natural gas, newer roof (2017), newer casement windows, and an economical wall furnace (11 years) already in place, many of the major improvements have already been taken care of. Make all your cottage-core dreams come true!
