Tucked into the heart of Oakhurst on beloved Hood Circle, this bright and charming cottage offers the perfect one-level retreat from the pace of everyday life. Thoughtful room proportions and an easy, open flow create a home that feels both cozy and connected. A private bedroom wing includes two bedrooms and a beautifully preserved central bath complete with a classic clawfoot tub. The spacious living room anchors the home and flows naturally into the entertaining spaces beyond a formal dining room made for gatherings, a storage-rich kitchen with casual breakfast bar, and a flexible rear office or bedroom that opens to the relaxing back deck. Homes of this scale with such lovingly preserved historic character are becoming increasingly rare. While there is room to expand if desired, many would agree this home feels just right exactly as it is. The deep backyard offers endless possibilities for gardening, pets, play, or future inspiration. Warm, welcoming, and full of heart this is the kind of home that makes Oakhurst so special.
