Life is good at this simple cottage surrounded by a 1/4 acre of property just waiting for all sorts of good things to blossom here. Set back from the street, the house enjoys a privacy screen of colorful morning glories waiting to make their appearance when springtime rolls back around. Ample off-street parking is always nice and with such a big yard, there's room for your camper, canoes and kayaks, not to mention a sunny space to flex your green thumb. Fully fenced, the 4-legged family members will have a great place to play. 12' x 24' shed out back will store your outdoor gear with room for a serious workshop with electricity in place! There's even power in the southeast corner for that camper so you can keep all your recreational gear in one spot. Entry room has been used as a micro office on one end and sunny reading nook on the other. Generous gathering room offers one or more seating areas and the dining alcove is adjacent to the kitchen or you can expand this kitchen into this section. Galley-style, two people can work together and still like each other when dinner is ready. Step down from the kitchen to the Florida room awash in natural light almost all day long - this is the favorite room for dining, home office, movie room and the side door takes you to the fantastic yard. Second bedroom is tucked off this flex room and has a wall of windows too. Laundry is by the bathroom and across from the main bedroom. For a small house, there is good privacy between the sleeping quarters. The beauty of the property, besides the generous width and depth, is the orientation of the house on the south boundary line. This leaves a wide side yard and deep back yard ripe for gardening, adding a 2-3 bay garage with guest quarters or whatever you choose to do with all this greenspace. An easy bike ride to the cool stuff happening on W King St and a few more minutes takes you to the center of downtown. Come check it out!
