Adorable cottage on almost an acre of land. Covered front porch has plenty of room for your favorite rocking chairs and porch swing. The back yard has a huge deck and gazebo with a private feel. The house has a nice flow, and there is a vaulted ceiling in the living room for a spacious feel. Cute as a button kitchen with dining space that has an abundance of natural light including several floor to ceiling windows. Adjacent to the dining area is a great place for a cozy reading nook or office desk. The kitchen and bath have been updated with tile floors. Garage/Storage building would make a great studio, workshop or writer’s cabin. This home is convenient to Highways 52, 421, and I-40, and you can reach Innovation Quarter and Downtown WS in less than 10 minutes by car. Refrigerator, washer and dryer remain. See agent only for additional information.
