This stunning property in the 9th & 9th neighborhood is just as charming as one could hope for. Starting with the cottage-style Tudor exterior: the current owner (one of just three in its nearly-100 years) is an avid gardener, which means the front yard is flawless and enticing-paired with the colorful front door, it looks like an English cottage-but the curb appeal here could also be due to those gorgeous windows, which are brand new throughout the entire home. Inside, it’s clear that this property has not only been well cared-for, but that those who designed it have impeccable taste (and a bit of a creative streak). The primary living space is bathed in natural light: a fireplace lends coziness to the space and crown molding creates a gap in which to hide curtain hardware for a seamless look. The kitchen has been updated to perfection with butcher block counters, a pale vermillion pink wall color, high backsplash, and open shelving opposite plenty of cabinetry of storage. Just adjacent, it opens to a small dining area, replete with built-ins that lend originality and charm. The primary suite is private and the primary bath refinished beautifully, from lighting to tile to the rain showerhead. The fully-finished basement is ideally suited to movie nights, but there’s also another well-appointed and adorable bathroom, a small workout room, and a laundry room with storage for extras. One of our favorite features of this well-located property? The back yard. Thanks in large part to a second parcel that extends the lot by .04 acres, there’s room for all versions of relaxation back here, whether that means play, gardening, or lounging. A few mature trees provide nature’s canopy, aided by a dreamy covered patio extending off the back of the 2-car garage: here, the owners have created something magical. With room enough to accommodate separate dining and seating areas, the wood-burning fireplace will ensure you can take advantage at all times of year. Plus, a small but clean shed lends just enough room to store all yard accessories and machinery. Folks, properties like this do NOT come around often enough.
