About this home

Tucked away on a quiet, little-known street, this charming 1930s cottage offers a rare opportunity to own a secluded slice of serenity. Nestled amidst mature trees and surrounded by shade plants that bloom into a lush field of wildflowers in the spring, this one-bedroom, one-bathroom home is the perfect retreat for someone seeking privacy and calm. Perched above a modest one-car garage with additional storage space, the home features a cozy living area, a functional kitchen, and a small screened-in porch ideal for enjoying your morning coffee. The outdoor patio, and porch, provide just enough space for a patio set—perfect for al fresco dining or quiet evenings surrounded by nature. Dry-stacked stone retaining walls accentuate the landscape, adding to the property's rustic charm. Despite its hidden, tranquil setting, this home is conveniently located within walking distance of St. Mary’s Hospital and the clinic. It is an ideal retreat for those who want a peaceful place to recharge. Whether you're seeking a full-time home or a part-time escape, this unique property—on the market for the first time in 20 years—offers a rare chance to own a private oasis right in town.
