What a charming cottage! It welcomes you with a freshly painted living room with coved ceilings focused around a picturesque stucco and brick fireplace. Hardwood floors run throughout the main floor, including in the two main floor bedrooms. The eat-in kitchen has good counter space for meal preparation using groceries purchased from nearby New Seasons or Fred Meyer. The upstairs bedroom is a wide space that can be used as a bedroom or office space (or both), or remodel it to your liking. The upstairs charm is enhanced by an arched ceiling and vintage lighting. There is ample ceiling height in the full basement, perhaps prompting future owners to finish the area. More storage is available in the detached one-car garage. The whole house gets plenty of natural light, as it sits on a corner lot above the street, which is a quiet stretch only one block long. An easy-care yard with mature perennial plantings surrounds the home. One might use the patio for parking, but previous owners have preferred using it for summer entertaining, inviting friendly neighbors by. Conveniently located to nearby Peninsula Park, public transportation, groceries. Close enough for freeway access but far enough that you don't hear it. This one is worth a look.
