Charming English Cottage in the heart of the Cathedral Area. An inviting covered entry opens to the cozy foyer and generous sized living room. Original beamed ceilings, crown mouldings and decorative 6" trim add to the appeal. Newer windows provide loads of light and picturesque views of the outside and the open floor plan provides views of the dining room, living room, and sitting/sun room. The upgraded kitchen includes an abundance of white shaker cabinets with all the bells and whistles, 2 pantries, a vintage stove with double stainless steel ovens and quartz countertops. The upstairs includes 3 bedrooms with a cedar lined closet in the guest bedroom and a walk-in closet in the master currently being used as an office. Hardwood floors under the carpeting, a built-in chest type linen closet and a remodled bath with genuine marble top, Brakur custom vanity and new fixtures complete the 2nd floor. A full daylight like basement with oversized glass block windows over the w/d, plus 2 additional rooms provide plenty of space for storage. Outside there is plenty of room for social distancing on the 50' covered patio complete with a seating area, hanging porch swing, a fire pit and sound system. The built-in potting area makes the property a gardeners delight with a working farm sink, grill area and countertops that allows the area to double as an outside kitchen. A covered morning room adjoins the garage with views of the cottage perennial gardens and is the perfect place for your early morning coffee. Mature trees, professional landscaping and a private serenity garden with a small pond/fountain complete the property. It is truly one of a kind and a rare find.
