Charming Brick Cottage with Modern Updates on a Spacious Corner Lot Step into timeless charm with this beautifully maintained brick cottage, full of character and thoughtful updates! From the moment you walk through the original arched wooden front door, you'll be greeted by vintage details like gleaming hardwood floors, antique glass doorknobs, crown molding, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace—just in time for those crisp winter evenings. The heart of the home, the kitchen, was fully renovated in 2021, blending classic warmth with modern convenience. Other recent updates include a new HVAC system (2021), hot water heater (2021), and a roof installed in 2022—so you can move in worry-free. Enjoy your morning coffee or evening relaxation in the brand new screened-in porch, overlooking the large corner lot with mature landscaping and room to garden, play, or simply unwind. The detached one-car garage offers additional storage or workshop potential, and the home also features direct basement access from the rear—perfect for easy storage or future expansion. Whether you're looking for character, comfort, or curb appeal, this one-of-a-kind gem is ready to welcome you home.
