Just moments from downtown, this storybook two-bedroom, one-bath Craftsman cottage brims with charm and period details. A sunny foyer welcomes you into a spacious living room with fireplace, flowing seamlessly to a dining room with original built-ins. Thoughtfully refreshed with refinished floors, a stylishly updated kitchen and bath, and a new roof (2025), the home is move-in ready yet offers incredible opportunity to remodel or expand on the generous 5,000 sq ft lot in this coveted location. The two bedrooms enjoy recently refinished original Douglas Fir hardwood. The bathroom was recently updated with marble flooring and a large tub for soaking. The backyard offers a storage shed that has been finished off inside for a possible work-from-home office retreat. The basement and detached garage offer additional storage.
