This unique and lovingly maintained home blends warmth and creativity, offering both comfortable living and flexible possibilities for the next owner. From the moment you arrive, you'll be charmed by the cottage feel—hardwood floors, large windows, and a welcoming front porch. Inside, enjoy thoughtfully updated spaces throughout, including hardwoods, fresh paint, new light fixtures, and a renovated mudroom that adds extra living space and functionality. The updated kitchen includes updated counters, a stainless steel stove and dishwasher, and beautifully coordinated finishes. The home's flexible layout allows for a potential short-term rental setup or private guest suite, complete with a kitchenette and proven rental history.

Major updates provide peace of mind: new roof in 2018, upgraded electrical panel, encapsulated crawlspace with dehumidifier, newer HVAC and ductwork, newer plumbing, and newer windows throughout most of the home. Two garages, outdoor lighting, and abundant storage complete the picture. A truly special property filled with character and comfort—ready for its next creative owner to make it their own!
