This cottage has been part of the same family since it was built in 1956 by the current owner's grandfather. For nearly 70 years, it has been cared for, lived in, and filled with memories, preserving many of the original features. The exterior features extra-wide eaves and has been freshly painted. Inside, you'll discover mid-century details, including the original cabinets, hardwood floors, pane windows, custom built-ins, teak wall paneling, and even the home's original 1950s oven, which is still in working condition. Original light fixtures throughout the home add another layer of authenticity and charm. A lofted attic space with pull-down stairs provides additional storage. Set on approximately one-third of an acre, the property offers plenty of space to spread out, with room for a large driveway and endless possibilities outside. This is not a home that has been updated to look like every other house on the market. This home is waiting for someone who can appreciate its history, recognize its potential, and give it the same love and care it has received since the day it was built. Whether restored to its original glory or thoughtfully reimagined for the future, this special property is ready for its next chapter.
