The charming cottage you read about in fairy tales — 1879 Tobey Road in Ashford Park announces itself with arched Tudor-style door, a front porch daybed, and rocking chairs that welcome you before you even step inside. The enchanting entry opens to a dedicated floorplan with oversized moldings, high-quality finishes, and every room with an intentional purpose: living, dining, office/sunroom, and kitchen. Upstairs, the oversized primary suite offers a walk-in closet and a spa-like ensuite with his-and-her vanities, soaking tub, and shower. Two additional bedrooms, laundry, and a full bath complete the upper level. The rear of the home may be its best chapter. French doors open onto a covered deck that feels private and unhurried, overlooking a backyard that is wide, green, and full of possibility. The lot itself is the kind of canvas that doesn't come along often in an established neighborhood like this — room to grow, room to breathe, room to dream a little bigger. 1879 Tobey Road isn't trying to be anything it isn't. It already is exactly what it is — and what it is, is special. Ideally located within minutes everything Brookhaven has to offer.
