What's special
✨ Charming Cottage on 2.8 Acres in the Heart of Fountain City ✨
Tucked away on 2.8 beautifully wooded acres, this one-of-a-kind property offers complete privacy while being only minutes from shopping and conveniences. A long, private driveway winds through the trees and leads you to a storybook cottage with all the character and updates you've been looking for.
The wraparound porch sets the tone for relaxed outdoor living, featuring a hot tub, outdoor fireplace, and plenty of space to gather. The level, open yard is perfect for play, pets, or gardening, complete with a charming playhouse and endless potential for your dream outdoor space.
Inside, the cottage blends original character with modern updates. You'll find gleaming original hardwood floors, a bright open kitchen with a butler's pantry, updated bathrooms, and a flexible office space. With four spacious bedrooms, a finished basement ideal for entertaining or kids, a large laundry and gym, plus a detached garage with extra storage—there's room for everyone and everything.
Driving up the private lane, it's easy to forget you're in the city at all—yet you're just five minutes from shopping, dining, and everything Fountain City has to offer. This rare combination of acreage, charm, and convenience makes this home a true gem.
