Charming Cottage with Owned Solar & Studio – 2BR/1BA Plus Bonus Space.
Welcome home to this delightful single-story gem, featuring 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, with a versatile 3rd room that can serve as a bedroom, studio, office, or den. Character shines from the moment you arrive: a fully fenced front garden greets you with lush, flower-filled beds and meandering paths, creating a private and picturesque first impression. A circular driveway adds curb appeal and everyday convenience, leading to a one-car garage.
Thoughtfully remodeled throughout their ownership, the home features custom built-in cabinetry in the living room, raised ceilings with solar-powered skylights that fill the space with natural light, and an expanded kitchen ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The remodel also transformed one bay of the garage into a versatile studio space—perfect as a home office, art studio, guest suite, or creative retreat. The possibilities are endless.
Smart, sustainable upgrades make this home as practical as it is beautiful: enjoy the savings and peace of mind of seller-owned solar including battery backup (no lease to assume!), plus a whole-home water softening system for better water quality throughout. A new roof, installed just three years ago, adds even more long-term value.
With its blend of thoughtful updates and timeless charm, this property is a rare find. Don't miss your chance to make it yours!
