Property Description

Come and experience this cozy cottage in the heart of the city! Easy access to I-71 makes this 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home a convenient place to live, while its lush gardens and privacy fence provide a peaceful retreat from urban life. The main level has original hardwoods in the front room and two bedrooms and new carpet in the master bedroom. The galley-style kitchen has a dishwasher, gas range (electric hookup also), stainless steel refrigerator, and a reverse-osmosis filter for drinking water. A metal roof was installed in 2019 and its lifetime warranty conveys with the house. The AC was replaced in 2020 and there is also a whole-house fan in the storage attic to pull in fresh air. The clean, full basement has laundry hookups in place with both gas and electric for the dryer, a newer water heater (2021), and a gas furnace (2017). A detached two- car garage supplements ample street parking. A six-foot privacy fence fully encloses a backyard urban oasis of ornamental, native, and edible plants for people and pollinators alike. Raised vegetable beds with rich, living soil and a trellis tunnel are ready to provide fresh organic produce season after season. The basement sump pump drains to a rain garden in the front while buried drainage tile sends roof water away from the foundation and to the raised beds in back.
