Sometimes amazing things come in “smaller” packages! Although this is quite open and spacious for a two-bedroom, it wallops a huge “big house” dose of Arts & Crafts details. The large living dining area boasts some of the finest period woodwork that we’ve seen lately: coffered ceilings, fireplace with a bench and a doozie of a built-in hutch! The “can do” kitchen has just the right amount of period charm and updated sparkle. The lower-level offers a hard to find casual living area perfect for binge watching! The corner Meridian-Kessler lot offers much light, convenience and the most private and easy-care patio. Fairytale Cottage, indeed!
