Welcome to your homestead in the city! With historic style and luxury finishes, this cottage in St. Johns is the perfect home to grow into. Its double lot features mature fruit trees and table grape vines, a rose garden, cobbled paths, predator-proof chicken coop and run, and is a certified backyard habitat frequented by hummingbirds and chickadees. The house itself has been significantly updated, with an eye to recapturing its historic charm. The recently remodeled kitchen features custom cabinets, soapstone counters, and other elevated finishes, while the bathroom sports an extra-deep soaking tub and marble accents. Further updates include a high-efficiency heat pump for heating and cooling, insulation, updated electrical and plumbing, and even little touches like instant hot water in the kitchen for tea or coffee. For the project-minded, this parcel is zoned R2.5 and has multiple avenues for ADUs, or later subdivision. The new-built garage would make a perfect shop. [Home Energy Score = 6.
