Exposed ceiling beams, original hardwood floors, and two charming built-in closets with their original hardware create a space filled with warmth, texture, and historic appeal. Every detail tells a story and contributes to the home's undeniable cottage character. Flowing from the living room, the dining room offers a welcoming space for gatherings both large and small. Sunlight streams through the windows while easy access to the rear deck allows indoor and outdoor entertaining to blend seamlessly. From here, you'll step into the quaint galley kitchen, where granite countertops, abundant natural light, and cottage-inspired charm create a bright and cheerful workspace that feels both intimate and inviting. Beyond the kitchen, a classic cottage-style door leads to a hidden staircase descending to the lower level, where you'll find the laundry area, utility space, and convenient walk-out access to the backyard. The main level also features two comfortable bedrooms and a full bathroom. Rich hardwood floors continue throughout, adding warmth and continuity to the living spaces. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and a half bath provide flexible accommodations. The primary bedroom is especially charming, featuring dual built-in closets and numerous windows that fill the room with natural light. The fourth bedroom offers a generous living area and storage with an oversized closet and additional hidden storage space.
