What's special
Someone special is going to instantly fall in love with this dreamy Beaverdale hideaway. Tucked into a quiet street, this cozy cottage has charming surprises everywhere you look. Before you even open the door, you will find yourself in an enchanting, fenced-in garden filled with mature plants, window boxes, and perennials. The twinkle lights and cottage decor make it a delightful space to enjoy your morning coffee and a crossword or the perfect place to mingle with friends and cocktails. There's even a chicken coop if you want to be a chicken parent, or you can use it for outdoor storage! Just inside the back door, is a quaint mudroom, with built-in storage, first-floor laundry, and tons of character. Right away you'll notice all the fun details that make this space so incredibly special, from the stained glass and repurposed hall storage pantry to the wood details on the ceiling and unique tile work. The bedrooms are on either end of the house, with an adorable bathroom between that will make anyone swoon. The sunroom is a sunny space you will want to spend time in with a good book. The newer windows and bamboo floors make the entire home feel airy and spacious, with every square inch put to unique use for your convenience. The built-ins in the bedroom, pantry in the kitchen, and so much space in the lower level for storage and the possibility of a playroom or exercise room, make this home feel much bigger. You have to see this gem for yourself!
