Tucked away on a quiet, almost hidden street in the heart of Pill Hill, this cottage-style retreat offers a rare blend of seclusion and historic charm. Surrounded by mature trees and wildflowers, the setting feels more like a woodland escape than a city lot—yet you’re just minutes from downtown. Inside, the home leans into its cozy, character-filled aesthetic. The updated kitchen blends the old with the new, featuring a modern range alongside a vintage antique stove, while a wood-burning stove in the corner adds warmth and ambiance. This isn’t a space designed for big, boisterous gatherings, but rather for slow, intentional living—morning coffee with the windows open, quiet dinners by firelight, and a pace that lets you breathe. Upstairs, a comfortable living space with a gas fireplace offers a retreat at the end of the day, while two screened porches and a private deck extend the living space into the outdoors. There’s no traditional yard—just the natural beauty of a shaded, low-maintenance landscape that requires nothing but appreciation. This is a home for someone who values privacy, charm, and a break from the ordinary. If you're looking for expansive square footage and a manicured lawn, this won’t be the one. But if you want a hidden oasis with history and soul, it just might be.
