If you are looking for peace and quiet, look no further than our 100+ year old cottage in the bucolic neighborhood of old Fair Oaks. Only minutes from I-50, this lovely home is close to everything you need, including shopping, dining, entertainment, and medical services. But nestled among the live oaks and olive trees, you'd never know it. Enjoy the country garden view from your front porch while you sip your favorite hot beverage and listen to the birds chirping in the trees. Or relax with a cool drink after a long day at work, while friendly neighbors wave to you as they enjoy an evening stroll. Inside, the cottage has everything you need: a spacious livingroom with views of the woods, a new air conditioner and heater, hardwood and tile floors, dishwasher, gas stove, microwave, refrigerator, washer and dryer (or just the hook-ups, if you prefer). The kitchen is modern, with lots of high-quality cabinetry, plenty of counter space for meal prep, a pantry, eat-in dining area, and a big bay window at the sink that overlooks a very private citrus and rose garden. You might even find that doing laundry is less of a chore in your spacious laundry room overlooking one of three patio areas. Outside the back door is another, larger patio, which can serve as a workshop, hobby space, or gardening spot. It features a washtub sink with ample counterspace and overhead shelving, and is enveloped in privacy screening. Underneath the trees on the other side of the house, accessible through french doors, is your detached garage, which is hidden from street view behind a secure wooden gate. And speaking of trees, the entire property is so well-shaded from the intense afternoon sun that your cooling bills will be remarkably low.
