Home features original hardwood flooring throughout, fresh paint, public sewer and central air. There is additional space with the 2 car garage which has workshop space for hobbies, and also has a wonderful window to let in the day light. Overall, "Dove Cottage" has the charm for those who desire country village living and want a manageable place to call home. Convenient to major work routes, schools, Longwood Gardens and Kennett Square Borough. Home being sold in its current condition, which is good.
