    Gas log fireplaceMature treesFenced front yardLarge front sunroomCustom barElegant arched designBuilt-in shelving
    This beautiful home in the heart of Cortez sits on a spacious half-acre lot and has been thoughtfully remodeled throughout. Featuring three generous bedrooms and two bathrooms, the highlight is the newly updated master suite with a brand-new private bath. The open-concept layout is bright and welcoming, with abundant natural light streaming through the large front sunroom—a favorite feature of the home. The kitchen has been refreshed with newly finished cabinets, butcher block countertops, a farmhouse sink, and modern fixtures. In the living area, an elegant arched design frames the gas log fireplace, custom bar, and built-in shelving, creating a perfect focal point for gatherings. Outside, the landscaping is equally impressive with mature trees and two apple-producing trees. A fenced front yard adds privacy and a safe space for pets. The property also includes a 26’ x 16’ garage with ample counterspace and storage, plus a 10’ x 14’ shed. Additionally, a 1,147 sq. ft. structure on the property offers incredible potential—whether transformed into a guest house, rental unit, or studio. Part of this structure is currently set up as a workshop. Situated on a welcoming corner lot, this property combines charm, functionality, and endless possibilities. Schedule your showing today!!
