    For sale — a true Grandma Cottagecore dream wrapped in Victorian charm. Tucked away on a quiet tree-lined street in Waverly, this enchanting 1900 Victorian feels like something straight out of a storybook — the kind of home where fresh bread cools on the counter, quilts are folded over vintage chairs, and mornings begin with coffee on the porch. Filled with all the cozy, collected charm that makes Grandma Cottagecore so amazing, this home offers beautifully refurbished hardwood floors, original light fixtures and switches, vintage trim work, built-in shelves, and working pocket doors. Every room feels layered with warmth, character, and old-soul comfort. The remodeled kitchen blends modern convenience with cottage charm — ready for soup simmering on rainy afternoons, handwritten recipes, garden bouquets in mason jars, and slow Sunday baking days. The vintage-style wallpaper and old-fashioned bathtub add that perfectly timeless feeling that simply can’t be recreated in newer builds. Outside, the magic continues. A brand-new front porch practically begs for rocking chairs, crocheted blankets, and iced tea at golden hour. The fenced backyard feels wonderfully tucked away and includes the original chicken coop — perfect for anyone dreaming of a gentle little homestead lifestyle with fresh eggs, wildflowers, and cottage garden energy. There’s even a rooftop access door with the potential to create a dreamy rooftop perch for stargazing, morning coffee, or watching summer thunderstorms roll through. Set in an established neighborhood with mature trees and walkable charm, you’re just minutes from Kohlmann Park, Wartburg College, walking trails, local markets, and sweet small-town favorites like Dairy Queen. Recent updates include: • Remodeled kitchen • New appliances • New A/C • Roof and gutters • Freshly painted wood siding • New backyard fence • Beautiful new front porch …and so much more. This is the kind of home that feels soft, welcoming, and deeply lived in — full of cottagecore charm, vintage whimsy, and the comforting feeling of home in the very best way
