Located in the heart of University Gardens ("the Dales"), this charming 1940s cottage blends classic character with extensive modern updates, including a new Daikin 4-ton HVAC system, new energy-efficient windows, a newer roof (2018), foam insulation in both the attic and beneath the home, significant drainage improvements, and updated whole-house electrical wiring. A manual natural gas generator powers the entire home, including the HVAC. Welcoming curb appeal and an inviting front porch set the tone, offering the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening relaxation. Inside, wood flooring, neutral tones, and abundant natural light create a bright, comfortable atmosphere throughout the main living areas. The thoughtfully updated kitchen features granite countertops, tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, a gas range, generous prep space, and a cozy breakfast area nearby.

The primary suite boasts a beautifully renovated bath with marble countertops, dual vanities, framed mirrors, travertine flooring, a seamless glass walk-in shower, separate jetted tub, and a large walk-in closet. Outdoor living is just as appealing with a fully fenced backyard and a spacious deck perfect for relaxing or entertaining.
