You will love this cute cottage which is actually a 1930's "Sears Kit Home" called the Homestead model which includes the original hardwood doors and hardware. A living room fireplace, formal dining room and a sun room add to the charm of this home. There are two roomy bedrooms on the 2nd floor, and a third bedroom in the attic level which features many built-in cabinets and drawers. Plenty of storage here too! There's an eco-bee thermostat and the furnace still has a few years left on it's 10 year warranty. The sump pump is newer in the last few years, and there's a reverse osmosis water system in the kitchen.
