About this home

Oh MY. .. would you look at this precious 3 bedroom/2 bath cottage home that's just off the beaten path in Irondale! It's situated on a huge 1.1 acre private lot. The location's a perfect blend of "close enough in" to be super convenient for work, school, and shopping and "just far enough out" that you're surrounded by the peace & quiet that only natural surroundings can provide. With a comfortably snug floorplan of 1,090 sq feet - you'll find zero wasted space here. Family room, dining area, and kitchen are semi-open concept. The kitchen is beautifully outfitted w/ newer stainless appliances. Just out back is a WOW screened-in porch and big open deck! Graciously sized with vaulted wood ceiling, recessed lighting, and cable ready for a big screen TV, this adds wonderful space to expand. Big backyard is already partially fenced. There's also a detached storage shed/workshop. Roof 2017, HVAC 2020, microwave-new, all appliances and w/ d remain, fresh interior paint throughout.

Come see this extremely well-maintained home that has been well-loved and cared for - it's ready for new owners to move right in - no work needed! This home has the perfect blend of tranquility and serinity - but still just a short drive to the heart of downtown! There is a rare master bedroom & bath for this size home with his and her closets. The second bedroom has a neat loft space for a little extra storage. The living room feels much larger due to its vaulted ceiling and cozy fireplace. And the rear screened in porch is truly perfect for entertaining larger groups and watching football with friends! Picture yourself with a morning coffee or enjoying a beverage after a long day's work. The property sits on well-over an acre of land with plush grass in the front perfect for a family football game and enough natural beauty in the back that makes it easy to maintain. There is a play-set and swings for the kids and a workshop / storage building for the adults!
