This 1936 cottage exudes charm with its quaint, storybook appearance. The home features two cozy bedrooms, a full bath, a large living area and kitchen plus a convenient laundry room. It sits on a level yard bordered by a gentle stream and surrounded by vibrant flowers and lush hydrangeas. An unattached carport provides covered parking and a large storage area in the rear. Property sustained damage from Hurricane Helene. All repair work is complete and there is a CO in the documents. Included in the repair work is new kitchen cabinets and counters, reinforced or replaced floor joists, new insulation in the walls with new sheetrock. All piping in the house, including waste water, water lines and sewer was replaced with Pex pipes plus a new water line from the meter to the house. There is a new water heater and toilet. This house shows beautifully. The home is in the 100 year floodplain labeled AE and the current owners have and retained flood insurance. There is a deep row of daylilies coming up now as a border to the main road. It will be beautiful all summer! With city water and sewer this home is perfect for a starter home or a small family.
