This Back Cove charmer on a quiet tree-lined, dead end street abutting Canco Woods. Solidly built in 1950 with comprehensive updates and meticulous maintenance ever since. There is true pride of ownership and a rare attention to every detail from the new roof, windows, heat, paint and more to the craftsman quality hardscapes and enchanted landscapes. This is the perfect right-sized, stress-free, lock-it-leave it home and the ideal condo alternative. 1st floor - offers mudroom, a well appointed kitchen, dining, front to back living room that opens to patio and rear yard, bedroom and full bath (rare single level living). 2nd floor - has two generous bedrooms. Basement is clean and welcoming and could easily be finished. Owners have explored adding a second floor bath and even a garage - see listing team for details and quote. The real magic begins outside in this idyllic location and lot. The location is so peaceful and the gardens so inviting and private that you have to remind yourself that you're just minutes to in-town and a host of amenities. The garlic is ready for harvest, the red raspberries are ripe, the raised garden beds promise health and vitality and the private setting offers a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle. .. Immediately off Canco Woods, close to Payson Park and a short walk to Baxter Boulevard and the shops, galleries, boutiques and restaurant of Woodfords Corner this is just location can't be beat. Walkers, runners, hikers, naturalists, pet-lovers (these trails are great for our four legged friends) and just about anyone who loves a little nature but doesn't want to be rural take note. Here's your chance to own a little slice of heaven. Listed well below market to ensure we go pending immediately. All offers due 8/5 @ 5PM and will be reviewed 8/6 by 5PM.
