Welcome to a truly unique property offering charm, simplicity, and some great downtown city views. If you've been searching for a cozy home with character and an outdoor setting that's anything but ordinary, this one is worth a look. Situated on two lots, this 1-bed, 1-bath home is designed for easy living with the convenience of main-floor laundry and an inviting layout that feels warm and comfortable. Outside offers a spacious deck to enjoy your views, or relax around the fire pit while taking in the peaceful bluff setting.
