Snow White called; said she found the perfect old-world style storybook cottage! This charmer is spacious, light & bright and thoughtfully & imaginatively renovated. The Seller’s secret sauce was taking their dedication to preserving the whimsy, historic integrity & vintage details and mixing it with “WOW” factor updates & modern conveniences! Outrageous new kitchen with upgraded GE Café Appliances, tons of gorgeous, handcrafted cabinetry w/ Quartz counter tops, it’s a must see! The home is designed to be loved, with plenty of room to entertain or curl up and get cozy! Warm, comfy Living Room with fireplace, built ins and lots of windows & doors. A great flex room on main level is a legal bedroom but would also make for a terrific home office, playroom, library, etc. Two distinctly renovated baths, original restored Hardwood Flooring, French doors & arched thresholds throughout! Additionally, there is a garage (plus parking for 6-8 more cars in back). and an unfinished basement that offers terrific storage. Sellers upgraded to gas heat and added several mini splits to ensure great & efficient heating & cooling. The screened in porch is the Seller’s favorite spot for morning coffee and overlooks a lovely, landscaped yard, BBQ hut and relaxing deck hidden within mature trees. 3 blocks to campus, short distance to Beaver Stadium. Happily Ever After Starts Right Here! NO SHOWINGS UNTIL SAT. 3/18.
