Description

There are some places that simply make you slow down... and this is one of them. Tucked beneath a canopy of towering oak trees on approximately 4.5 beautiful acres, this charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage feels like it was pulled straight from the pages of a storybook. From the moment you pull into the driveway, you're greeted by a setting that's becoming harder and harder to find—peaceful, private, and full of possibility. The yard is truly the star of the show. Mature shade trees, wide open green space, room for gardens, chickens, fruit trees, a workshop, or even your dream home someday... it's a blank canvas waiting for someone with imagination. Whether you're searching for a weekend retreat, an investment opportunity, a place to renovate, or the perfect homesite while enjoying the existing home, the possibilities here are endless. Inside, the home is filled with character you simply can't recreate today. Original hardwood floors, beautiful crown molding, oversized baseboards, detailed door trim, and natural light pouring through the windows create a warm, inviting feeling throughout. The kitchen is full of vintage charm, complete with a farmhouse-style sink that's sure to steal your heart. Two gas heaters provide warmth during the winter months, while the home is ready for someone to add central air and make it their own. Step onto the screened front porch with its classic brick flooring, settle into a rocking chair, and enjoy evenings watching the sun disappear behind the trees. A single carport, attached storage room, and utility room off the back porch add practical space to this already special property. Being sold AS-IS and priced to sell, this is the kind of property that rarely comes along in such a desirable area. Whether you restore its timeless charm, build your forever home among the oaks, or create an incredible investment, this little storybook property is ready for its next chapter. Buyer to verify all information during due diligence.
