Great things truly come in small packages! This charming 1-bedroom, 1-bath gem is a cozy home with thoughtful updates throughout: new siding (2023), a roof in excellent shape (2017), and fresh interior paint (2020 and 2024). Adding to its charm is a cute enclosed front porch, flooded with natural light from its many windows—perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The spacious kitchen is equipped with a 2-year-old fridge and 4-year-old stove, and features a clever pantry, offering a surprising amount of storage in a compact, creative design. The basement provides abundant storage space and is filled with potential, ready for your finishing touches or unique vision to bring it to life. Nestled on a pretty lot just shy of a quarter acre, this home offers plenty of room to breathe, garden, or simply soak up the southern outdoor sun. Also, conveniently located near the Beaverdale Square for dining, coffee, watering holes, schools, and shopping. Whether you're downsizing, looking for a starter home, or an investment property, this one proves you don't need a big footprint to live large!
