Nestled along a picturesque block in Highland Park just moments from the riverfront parkway, this charming 1.5 story stucco cottage offers the perfect blend of modern features and classic style. Step inside to the spacious living room and adjacent dining room and be captivated by the warmth of hardwood floors, lots of natural light, neutral decor and a gas fireplace with white brick surround. The kitchen features fresh paint, updated appliances, abundant cabinetry and space for casual dining. Two bedrooms are located on the main level, both with generously-sized closets, and one that could serve as an ideal main level office. A sunroom addition is located adjacent to this bedroom and features high ceilings, oversized windows, gas fireplace, in-floor heat and new double doors that lead to the fully-fenced backyard. Rounding out the main level is a delightful, bright & airy bathroom boasting a spacious ¾ tiled shower and separate tub, updated vanity and in-floor heat to keep you cozy year round. The primary bedroom is located upstairs and features loads of closet space and built-in shelving along with an updated full bathroom. The full unfinished basement offers great potential to expand and build equity. Other notable highlights and improvements include a 5 year old roof, new ductless mini-split ac & heat system with four wall units (all bedrooms + living room), newer 2-car garage, all double-hung windows repaired & aluminum wrapped, restored arched & piano windows, chimney rebuild, and new storm windows & doors. Don't miss this opportunity to make this exceptional property your new home!
