Perched along a sidewalk-lined street and framed by a scenic rock wall and mature landscaping, this eye-catching beauty is a joy to arrive home to. As soon as you step in through the front door, this home’s historic, old world charm is immediately evident, but you still have the modern convenience that several system updates afford. Original hardwoods guide you into the living room and adjacent dining room, a haven of entertaining. Archways and crisp trim add to the character of each space, and in the spacious dining room you’ll find stylish corner built-ins that offer both fashion and function!

The big, bright country kitchen is easily within reach from here, and the cheerful color palette makes for a fresh, uplifting atmosphere. Vintage cabinetry rests alongside sleek modern appliances, and the generous layout means you have ample space for a center island addition should you desire it. Plus, the sweet dining nook offers a perfect spot to relax and sip on a morning cup of coffee as you start each day.

The rest of this home’s 2,616-square-foot layout includes 3 bedrooms and 2 beautifully updated baths, and you’ll also find a like-new, separate cottage with its own bath. Showing off contemporary style and ample natural light thanks to skylights overhead, this unique offering is a definite bonus. Use it as a guest cottage, an office, a hobby space, art studio, and more.

Opportunities for basking in the rejuvenating outdoors are aplenty with this property. Not only is the yard fully fenced, but there’s a custom coop, an expansive paver patio, and gorgeous natural greenery that includes flowering trees and a giant willow that lazily sways in the breeze. Paradise does exist, and it’s right here with your very own storybook scene!
