Cottage Home in English Gardens. This classic cottage home has been partially restored and needs some finishing touches and modest renovation. All rooms have hardwood floors- recently refinished. It has 2 large bedrooms and spacious bathroom with Jacuzzi tub. The living room and dining room have floor to ceiling bookcases and the living room has a central fireplace. Step outside to a brick patio with a 200 year old majestic oak tree embracing the patio area. Walk around the home perimeter within an enclosed mature English garden with rose bushes, ferns, exotic plants and trees. The home and yard are completely shielded from the street by fencing and garden foliage on three sides. The real bonus is a 350 approx. square foot studio used as an art studio but now appropriate for large office space or ADU conversion as a live in studio apt. Perfect for home and business separation. Pending.
