Tucked away toward the back of an expansive nearly half-acre lot, this charming and thoughtfully updated single-family cottage offers the perfect blend of privacy and convenience. Priced at $129,000, it’s an inviting opportunity for those ready to transition from renting to homeownership. Inside, you’ll find an open-concept layout designed for comfortable everyday living. The home features two bedrooms with closets, plus a versatile flex room ideal for a home office, guest space, or additional bedroom. The full bathroom has been tastefully renovated and includes a walk-in shower. Originally built in the 1950s as a guest house, this property was later subdivided and expanded in the early 2000s to create a standalone residence. Since 2011, it has been carefully maintained and enhanced with improvements including updated flooring, refreshed paint, roof replacement, upgraded cabinet hardware, a renovated bathroom, new garbage disposal, and more. The exterior offers just as much appeal, with new board fencing extending from the front to the back of the property, leaving an open gravel driveway entrance. Enjoy mornings or evenings on the full-length front sitting porch, or take advantage of the spacious yard with room to relax, garden, or entertain. Additional features include a detached two-vehicle carport, a generously sized utility-laundry room, and an outdoor storage shed for lawn equipment. If you’re seeking a property that offers a sense of retreat while still being conveniently located, this one is worth a look. Showings begin Sunday, April 12—be sure to add this one to your must-see list!
