Welcome to your own sunny retreat! This bright, detached one-bedroom cottage is tucked away in a quiet backyard with its own private, gated entrance. Thoughtfully updated and sparkling clean, it features a modern kitchen with a cafe-style breakfast counter, dishwasher, and plenty of natural light.
You'll also have your own private outdoor space, ideal for morning coffee or quiet evenings. Please note the home is unfurnished; photos show furnishings from a previous tenant.
This is a cozy, peaceful space best suited to someone who values privacy and independence. The owner, a working professional with a friendly puppy, lives in the main house and is seeking a single renter who enjoys a calm atmosphere. The yard is not shared, so you'll truly have your own corner of quiet with the back deck.
Conveniently located in the lovely Sun Valley neighborhood, just a short walk to Andy's Market and Sun Valley Park.
