ABOUT THIS HOME
Nestled in the heart of the Cottage Home Historic District, this darling 3-bedroom, 2-bath home perfectly blends historic charm with a modern floorplan and amenities. Spacious and inviting, the home boasts hardwood floors throughout, high ceilings, and large windows that flood the rooms with natural light. Kitchen is open to the dining and living areas with ample cabinets, a bar top and stainless appliances. An additional room on the main level would make a great in-home office or library. Upstairs is your place to retreat, with two sizable bedrooms and a third quirky bedroom loft/office space. Two full baths and a main floor laundry also lend to the modern design of this older home. Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac, the property features a large fenced-in backyard. The shade from the mature tree and the new 13x15 stained deck make for such a nice place to enjoy the outdoors. Additional improvements made include installing a water softener in 2023, a new water heater in 2021 and a new dual fuel heat pump/furnace in 2022. More recent updates include a NEW ROOF and gutters, an upstairs Mini Split, buried downspouts and additional vapor barrier in 2026. You're only minutes away (walking!) from the hustle and bustle of College and Mass Ave, Bottleworks, and several East Side hot spots. For the value, this is an incredible location and opportunity to move downtown!
