Charming 1940s cottage blocks from EAV with room to entertain! This home features original hardwood floors, a screened side porch for year-round enjoyment, and a flat backyard ready for gatherings, gardening, or relaxing evenings outdoors. When you enter the light filled foyer, you are greeted with views of both the kitchen and living room. The warm blue cabinetry and butcher block countertops create a cozy and functional kitchen. A rare bonus for a home of this era — a true laundry room just off the kitchen for added convenience. The renovated bath divides the spacious bedrooms. The attic offers two separate rooms, each with closets, providing incredible flexibility for work-from-home offices, creative studios, or additional bedrooms. Don't miss May and your chance for EAV living!
