Tucked into a chapter of its own, this 1940s cottage feels like the kind of place where good stories begin. Fully remodeled while keeping its vintage soul intact, this three-bedroom, two-bath home offers 1,386 square feet of charm, warmth, and ''wait. .. this is cute'' moments around every corner. Exposed wood beams and statement ceilings set the tone right away—because plain ceilings are for houses with no personality. Throughout the home, thoughtful details lean into classic cottage style without trying too hard, including the original front door repurposed as an interior feature—a subtle flex for anyone who appreciates a good story and good craftsmanship. The kitchen is equal parts function and flair, featuring granite countertops, generous cabinet space, and plenty of room to cook, bake, or dramatically lean against the counter with a glass of wine while deciding what to order instead. There's no carpet anywhere, a spacious laundry room (finally), and a layout that actually makes sense. Big updates are already handled with a newer roof and HVAC system installed in 2022, so you can focus on enjoying the home, not budgeting for surprises. Out front, the enclosed front porch is made for slow mornings, rainy afternoons, and easing into the day with a good book or your favorite playlist. The property is framed by a truly unique bamboo forest, adding texture, movement, and undeniable charm you don't often see in this area—especially for a home with such convenient access to everything nearby. A storage shed rounds out the package, because charm is great, but storage still matters. This isn't a house that's trying to impress you. It already knows you're going to fall for it. Vintage, warm, a little witty, and full of character—this cottage is ready for its next love story. P. S. Bring your chickens. .. NO HOA
