Tucked behind lush, mature landscaping on a level 0.45-acre R3-zoned lot, this charming property offers high subdivision potential in a park-like setting. The grounds have been lovingly cultivated by the same owner for over 20 years, featuring fruit trees, ornamentals, berries, and pollinator-friendly plantings. The cozy home includes 2–3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living room with fir floors, a functional kitchen and dining/office/additional bedroom space adjacent to the living room. There is a ductless heat pump and 4-year-old hot water tank. A covered front porch with storage/workshop space was added in 2012. While the home is very livable, some updates would enhance long-term comfort and insurability. A detached tiny office provides a perfect spot for remote work or creative pursuits. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy a beautiful garden now, with future development options down the road.
