Looking for a private retreat? Don’t be fooled from the curb! Nestled beyond the trees is a sweet surprise. Beautiful billowing arboring trees on this deep massive lot frame the path leading to a quaint bright 1 bedroom 1 bathroom cottage. Gorgeous hardwood floors flow through out this one of a kind home while recessed lighting & windows bathe it in light. Relaxation awaits you in the lovely classic charming clawfoot tub. Open spacious kitchen w/ample storage welcomes easy flow while entertaining. French doors lead to large patio deck that awaits peaceful afternoons basking in the fresh air, reading, working, entertaining or just enjoying the peaceful beautiful private scenery. Explore the possibilities of this unique property on a huge lot w/endless potential. Keep the cottage as an ADU & build a main house up front, demo the cottage to maximize the lot & build a new home or expand on the existing home. (Record show 2 bedrooms, only 1 presents. Check with city for accuracy and lot possibilities.)

This one bedroom cottage sits about 70 steps up at the back of a very deep lot. Lots of potential here. Would make a great guest house for a new home built at the front of the lot by the street.
