The Farmhouse and The Cottage. No, that's not a band name. That is the loving name given to this fantastic combo of an amazing 1898 farmhouse and its little friend, the 2019-built Cottage ADU.The main house exudes charm with its refinished old growth Doug Fir floors, 9-foot ceilings, vintage gas stove and natural light. But don't be fooled - the house has a ton of modern conveniences such as newer AC, water heater, electric meter, paint and Rejuvenation light fixtures. The living & dining rooms are the perfect size and the bathroom just got refreshed with new tile & wainscoting. The large kitchen is a rare find for a turn-of-the-century home. It has newer appliances, open shelving, a breakfast nook and convenient backyard access. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms, all with wood floors. Laundry is in the non-creepy basement.The piece de resistance is the Cottage - a detached ADU built with incredible attention to detail from the ground up in 2019. Special features include French doors for great indoor-outdoor flow, a full-size kitchen, vaulted tongue & groove ceilings, polished concrete floors, mini splits and fun light fixtures & designer touches everywhere. And, it's not a studio. It's got a full bathroom and a large bedroom overlooking the back yard. Got elderly parents? The Cottage is perfect as it is all one level. Looking for a live-in nanny? This is your place. Want a work from home space? This is ideal. Or want to rent it out on Airbnb? The current owners averaged $125 per night. The front yard features a porch with IPE deck and a flower garden. The rear yard is a calming little oasis and was professionally designed in 2019 with a new deck with built-in seating, lily pond, raised garden beds and new fence & gates. Parking is easy in the long driveway. Use the detached garage as a workshop now that electricity has been added. This is truly a fantastic location, close to hotspots on Stark Street and with easy access to freeways, airport and nearby Mt Tabor Park.
