You will love this charming cottage-style home set on a private, rustic 1.5-acre lot at the end of a quiet street in a beautiful neighborhood. This 2-bedroom, 1.75-bath retreat features a spacious kitchen with eating area, a lower-sunken living room with a cozy wood-burning fireplace insert, and a generously sized primary bedroom. Just steps from the home is a fantastic outbuilding—perfect for an office, hobby or game room—connected by an expansive stamped-concrete patio, ideal for entertaining. The property offers potential for subdivision or redevelopment (buyer to verify). Seller in the process of removing vehicles and equipment. Over $50,000 invested in grounds improvements. Roofs will likely need replacement. So much potential here!
