ADORABLE COTTAGE! Pride of ownership is always shown by the curb appeal and this 2BR1BA has some curb appeal. The yard size makes additional changes very manageable with your landscaping ideas. New laminate flooring is being scheduled right now. Small convenient kitchen with a great room design is perfect for new owners. Large laundry room for extra storage (perfect for a pantry) and it doubles as the back entrance to a very welcoming outdoor patio when you get home from work and relax with a glass of iced tea overlooking a very large backyard, privacy fence on two sides with huge aspen trees that are gorgeous in the summer. Ample parking in the front or from alley into the back. Seller shall replace carpet at sellers expense.
