A Storybook Cottage Just Steps from Koontz Lake! Tucked beneath mature shade trees only two blocks from Koontz Lake, this completely renovated A-frame style cottage is full of charm from the moment you pull up with buttery yellow siding, a dramatic green standing-seam roof, and true storybook curb appeal. Inside, a bright den with windows on three sides welcomes you in, leading to a soaring two-story living room with a working fireplace. A spiral staircase leads to a flexible loft space, ideal as a second bedroom, office, or craft room. The spacious dining room features bold, designer-inspired wallpaper and a barn-door laundry room tucked neatly out of sight, plus stairs to the unfinished basement for extra storage. From there, the fully remodeled kitchen with granite countertops opens to a recently renovated sunroom, wrapped in windows and perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The main level is rounded out by an updated full bathroom and a comfortable primary bedroom. Outside, enjoy a newly sodded lawn, private paver patio, and a quaint, fully fenced yard! Plus a detached 2-car garage accessed via the alley. A whole-home Generac generator adds rare peace of mind for this area. Completely renovated and truly move-in ready, homes this well done, this close to the lake, don't come around often at this price!
