    What's special

    Hoping for a unique & charming home w/ a small town setting, but not too far from the city? This is it! Nestled on the crest of its 1-acre double lot, and bordered by a peaceful creek & pasture land, you will find this charming stone cottage. The fantastic corner lot is perfect for a gardener (or someone who loves a riding lawn mower), gives tons of room for kids or pets to run & play and for outdoor entertaining with bonfires, picnics & hayrides. Gorgeous mature trees. Inside, beautifully restored original hardwood flooring, craftsman style molding & built-ins welcome you in the living room. Through the arched doorway, the formal dining room is the heart of the home, banked by the eat-in kitchen (which walks out to the recently re-surfaced deck). Excellent flow for entertaining. White cabinets, butcher block look & stainless appliances in the kitchen. 3 bedrooms, ample closets, full bath, laundry & 1-car garage all down the hall. And stand-up, concrete floored storage below as well!

    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
