Tucked into the heart of Sunset Hills, this classic 1940s all-brick cottage is the kind of home that instantly feels like home. Set on one of the sweetest tree-lined streets in the neighborhood, it’s overflowing with warmth, charm, and timeless character. The inviting covered front porch that feels like coffee in the mornings or evening hellos with neighbors strolling by. Inside, original details shine with 9-foot ceilings on the main level, plaster walls, and classic picture-hanging molding that speak to the craftsmanship of the era. Hardwoods run throughout, and the interior has been freshly painted, creating a bright, welcoming backdrop for everyday living. The layout offers 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths. Thoughtful updates add peace of mind, including a brand-new roof (this month), fully encapsulated crawl space and a brand-new dishwasher. The unfinished basement is heated and cooled, offering excellent flexibility for storage, hobbies, or future finished space. Out back, enjoy a fenced backyard perfect for pups or entertaining, plus a handy shed for extra storage. Perfectly positioned between Market Street and Friendly Avenue, this home offers exceptional convenience and walkability to shopping, restaurants, schools, and healthcare. This rare Sunset Hills gem with character galore won't be around for long so call to schedule a showing today!
