Nothing could be finer than to call this one your new home by the morning! A lot of sweetness packed into this 1500 square foot 1938 brick cottage: Newly finished hardwood floors, fresh paint inside and out, adorable, updated kitchen, useful pantry, renovated bathrooms, the nicest over-sized windows throughout the house that invite in views of the exquisitely landscaped yard chock full of native perennials. A 340 square foot covered porch added earlier this year includes thermally treated hardwood floors (no rotting!), Minka ceiling fans, skylights, and new Schoolhouse sconce lighting. New stonework, driveway, retaining wall. Work outlined on engineer's report completed in 2025. Architectural shingle roof installed in 2022.
