Bursting with character, this classic English “Storybook Cottage” is ready for its next chapter. Will you be the one to write it? This home may need some love and attention to restore its original luster, but the foundation is set with solid bones and key updates, including a gas furnace, gas fireplace, and vinyl windows. Inside, traditional charm shines through coved ceilings and original hardwood floors. Discover "hidden treasures" in nearly every room, from built-in nooks and shelving to a vintage secretary desk, period light fixtures, and glass doorknobs. The massive eat-in kitchen offers endless potential for a gourmet redesign, while the 784sf partially finished basement provides abundant storage. Outside, enjoy the rare trifecta of low county taxes, city water/sewer, and a private irrigation well to keep the mature landscaping lush for pennies. The sprawling, fully fenced lot features a powered gazebo, a 2-car pull-through garage with an attached shop, and a 2-car carport—perfect for hobbyists and "toy" storage alike. Bring your toolbelt and your imagination. The "bones" are here, the beauty is waiting to be reclaimed.
