A storybook 1936 cottage on a sprawling 6,000+ sq ft lot—small in footprint, big in charm. Inside, fresh paint, warm hardwoods, new appliances and a classic wood-burning fireplace make the home feel instantly welcoming. Outside, the trees steal the show: a neighborhood-famous weeping willow offering summer shade and songbirds, a pollution-cleansing Ginkgo biloba, and sculptural evergreens that provide year-round color and natural sound-buffering. The setting feels tucked away and peaceful, yet surprisingly connected—nestled between Foster Links Golf Course and Joseph Foster Memorial Park, with quick access to transit, I-5, and everyday conveniences. Two off-street parking spots make coming and going easy, and the generous outdoor space gives you room to breathe, garden, or simply soak in the serenity of this truly special landscape.
