Freshly painted in neutral colors, this charming cottage is tucked away in the Old Settlement neighborhood on Big Lake. In addition to 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, it offers a small office, perfect for working from home or creative projects. A spacious screened porch and a large backyard with beautiful live oak trees provide a picturesque setting to enjoy. A new roof was installed in 2020, and the home is located less than 250 yards from Big Lake, making it ideal as a primary residence, weekend retreat, or rental investment.
