This sweet 1950's cottage is located in the heart of Uptown on a quiet street that gets more foot traffic than car. It has one bedroom, plus a bonus room that could be used as an den, guest room, bathroom, mudroom, or laundry. The bathroom is off the bedroom. A perfect "tiny home" to nest in! It has a very open, beachy feel and is set high up off the street with an extremely private backyard that includes a patio and kiwi arbor. The cottage is ideal for a single or couple and is highly flexible because of the large storage (285 sq ft.) and workshop/studio (250 sq ft.) area separate from the house. This makes it possible to live seasonally in the house, switching out clothing and furnishings as the seasons change. It's so nice to not have to live on top of your stuff! Tinkers, woodworkers and artists have all been very happy here. A modern Danish Morsø wood stove heats the house very deeply and efficiently. With a small footprint, double paned windows and what is arguably the sunniest spot in all of town, you don't have to worry about heating costs. Fir floors in the living room, marmoleum in the kitchen and tile in the bathroom are ideal for non-toxic living and simplified maintenance. This house has always been loved and it shows. A new cedar shingle roof was added in spring of 2013 as were new gutters. The bathroom was remodeled in 2010 with a new tile shower and floor and a low flow Toto toilet. This house was built to last and still has room to grow. The home is surrounded by an organic kitchen garden that is stocked with productive figs, marionberries, boysenberries, raspberries, aronia berries, currants, kiwis, and a very thorough selection of herbs including a bay tree. Two productive pear espaliers adorn the outbuidings. You won't believe the black sandy soils. There is a mature asparagus bed that produces 50lbs+ every year. They say that location is everything and that is truly the case for this house. The Uptown business district with cafés, charming shops, bakery, library, Aldrich's Market, the farmer's market, pub, and salon is just blocks away. Multiple beaches are within walking distance. The Food Co-op is very reachable and downtown is a 10-15 min walk. Perfect for a getaway, down-sizing, a starter home or rental. Cash only, please. No agents at this time.
