Charming storybook Moffitt cottage in the Longfellow neighborhood. Built in 1935, this lovingly maintained home blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates. The inviting living room features a cozy fireplace, while the large dining room offers the perfect space for gatherings and entertaining. The current owner renovated the kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and beautiful shaker-style cabinetry, creating a seamless mix of historic charm and contemporary convenience. Upstairs, you’ll find two bedrooms and an updated full bath. The basement offers excellent options for storage, laundry, and an additional toilet and shower stall. The lush backyard is a private retreat featuring mature trees, perennial gardens, and an enclosed vegetable garden. Recent improvements include fresh interior paint, new front landscaping, a new roof (2018), and new A/C (2021).
