Property Description
This Garden Home cottage is full of personality and warmth. Original details like coved ceilings, curved arches, and hardwood floors give the home its charm, while thoughtful interior and mechanical updates help it live like a modern home. The main level includes two comfortable bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a welcoming living room with a traditional fireplace. The updated kitchen and dining room sit just off the living room and capture beautiful sunset views. The adjacent back deck extends the living space and offers an easy spot for relaxing or entertaining. The walk-out lower level adds surprising flexibility, with a spacious living area, a full bathroom, and additional rooms that work well as an office, bedroom, or creative space. Upstairs provides even more versatility with rooms that function well as a home office, playroom, or extra bedroom. The home sits on a generous lot with mature landscaping, plus a garage/shop and garden shed for extra storage or projects. Updated HVAC, including a heat pump mini-split, keeps things comfortable year-round. All of this on a quiet, dead-end street—complete with stair access that connects the neighborhood—close to parks, trails, and the local favorites that make the Garden Home neighborhood such a special place to live.
