Tucked on a quiet cul-de-sac off Cumberland Ave, this enchanting Dilworth cottage feels like a private world of its own, very Swiss Family Robinson. Nestled beneath a canopy of trees, this little snacc with basement offers the kind of calm that's rare this close to the city.
The kitchen charms with brick floors, oversized windows, gas cooktop, granite countertops, and a breakfast bar opening to a cozy dining area. The sun-drenched family room invites you to unwind, while two upstairs bedrooms share a full bath and a gas fireplace in the guest room doubles perfectly as a home office. The lower-level owner's suite is a true retreat with a sitting area and beautifully appointed bathroom.
Step outside to the real showstopper, a secret garden backyard that stops you in your tracks. An expansive deck flows down to a serene patio and into a lushly landscaped, fully fenced yard that feels worlds away from city life. The layout and location make this a standout short-term rental opportunity, while the walkability seals the deal for anyone ready to plant roots: two blocks to East Blvd and a short stroll to Freedom Park. Roughly 10 minute drive to Uptown.
