    What's special

    Vintage-style tile floorSweet move-in ready cottagePrivate plant-filled yardFlower bedsFarm sinkNew tilesKucht gas range
    Likely built in 1895, this sweet, move-in ready cottage has been lovingly maintained and was beautifully updated in 2024. High ceilings and an abundance of windows make this 829 sq' home appear larger and the private, plant-filled yard and vintage garage effectively expand living space. The light-filled rooms have been fully refurbished with refinished oak floors, new tiles, quartz counter tops, and all new appliances and fixtures. The kitchen features a Kucht gas range, stainless steel microwave, range hood, refrigerator and dishwasher. The farm sink, glimmering white subway tiles and quartz countertops will delight any home chef while the pantry/beverage bar adds extra storage and the convenience of a butler’s pantry. The main floor bedroom has two closets and connects to the updated bathroom featuring the original claw foot soaking tub. A new vanity with quartz countertop and nickel fixtures brightens the space. The vintage-style tile floor and the colorful 1960s mosaic tile window screens in the adjacent laundry alcove adds even more character to the space. The lock-off, air conditioned second floor attic is a versatile space that can be used as a secondary bedroom, office space or for storage. The fully fenced back yard has side access to the original garage that was completely renovated last year. It is fully insulated and the interior finishes make it perfect for use as an entertainment area, work space, art/yoga studio or playroom. The entire property is lush with established plantings including lilacs, peonies, irises, bleeding hearts, roses, lilies and sunflowers. The backyard is particularly enchanting with its spacious flagstone dining patio, flower beds and a grassy spot for lounging. In addition to a high efficiency gas heater, the cottage has a 2 year old furnace and water heater, a 7 year old AC unit and a newer roof. New paint inside and out completes the refresh of this charming property. This one-of-a-kind vintage jewel is located one block from iconic Pearl Street and across the street from the historic Whittier International School. Perfectly situated at the east end of Pearl Street, the proximity to the 28th Street Mall and CU make it a highly desirable location. Walk to the Spruce Street pool, festivals and the farmer’s market. Visit neighborhood shops, yoga studios, salons/spas, bars and coffee shops. Take your pick of neighborhood restaurants including the Michelin-starred Frasca , just 2 blocks away. Make this charming cottage your primary residence, home away from home or as an income-producing property.
