Once featured in Better Homes & Gardens, this Colonial cottage in Historic Williamsburg exudes charm and whimsy inside and out. Built in 1931, you will find many of the original details thoughtfully preserved including the original columns, windows, wood doors & floors, Dining Room built-ins, fireplace, upstairs Bathroom, door hardware, and more. Purchased from the original owners in 2003, the current Owners have lovingly restored and expanded on the home with a 2009 addition that includes a large Kitchen and Dining Room, Mudroom, enclosed porch, and a Full Bath on the first floor; a large Covered Back Porch with beautful patterned bluestone; an en-suite Primary Bedroom with a private balcony, additional Bedroom, and a Laundry Room on the 2nd floor; plus a huge walk-up attic. Additional upgrades include Pella windows, a 50-year roof, geothermal systems, new copper plumbing, updated electrical, HEPA filtration throughout the home, an irrigation system; a privacy fence, and a beautiful garden shed with a copper roof. A full walk-out basement apartment was added in 2018. A classic cottage garden & a private backyard oasis just steps from the college and Colonial Williamsburg.
