Welcome to this remarkable one-of-a-kind cottage-a real life storybook retreat set on a serene 1-acre lot bordered by a tranquil creek and mature trees. This home has been reimagined and completely renovated in 2013, blending timeless charm with thoughtful modern updates and exquisite craftsmanship throughout. Outside, the cottage's 16-inch-thick stone exterior showcases exceptional craftsmanship, complemented by brand-new steam-bent cedar shingles installed in 2024 on both the house and detached two-car garage. Additional notable upgrades include the new furnace and AC both installed in 2024, new sump pump in 2025, and new water softner. Step through the enchanting arched front door and into a home that feels both warm and refined. The inviting foyer features authentic Chicago brick flooring and built-in shoe storage, leading to a beautifully updated kitchen designed with both style and function in mind. Highlights include soft-close cabinetry, quartz countertops, crown molding, a tile backsplash, pot filler, deep ceramic double sink, under-cabinet lighting, stainless steel appliances, beverage fridge, and built-in pantry-all set atop gleaming hardwood floors. The dining room offers built-in corner bench seating with hidden storage and detailed trim work, while the family room exudes character with a rebuilt stone gas fireplace (2013), three custom bookcases, a window seat, and antique barn doors sourced from France. French doors open to a stone patio that overlooks the private yard and creek-an ideal space for morning coffee or evening gatherings. The main-floor primary bedroom is a peaceful retreat with crown molding, elegant draperies, and custom antique double closet doors. The full hall bath was completely remodeled with heated floors, an antique vanity and medicine cabinet, frameless glass shower, new fixtures, heated towel rack, and timeless tile work. A second bedroom on the main level provides flexibility for guests or a home office. Upstairs, a charming loft and additional bedroom create a cozy upper-level retreat, complete with an updated half bath. The entire interior has all newer trim, light fixtures, and solid panel interior doors. Full basement waiting for your finishing idea or great space for storage and a work shop space. A gravel driveway installed in 2023 completes the exterior updates. Every inch of this property has been designed for charm, comfort, privacy, and natural beauty-offering a rare opportunity to own a truly distinctive home that feels worlds away, yet close to everything. Steps away from all the dining, shopping, and transportation.
