Set on 2.15 beautifully maintained acres, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath cottage offers timeless character, mature shade trees, manicured boxwoods, white picket fencing, and a charming freestanding gazebo. Inside, you'll find a welcoming layout with a gas fireplace and built-ins in the living room, a separate dining area, a galley kitchen with custom wood cabinetry, a sun-filled family room with vaulted beamed ceiling, two main-floor bedrooms, a full bath, and a generous laundry room that could be an additional flex room that offers the perfect opportunity for a 4th bedroom, home office, or hobby space. Upstairs, a private 23-ft primary suite with en-suite bath provides a quiet owner's retreat. Outside, enjoy a pergola-shaded back deck, unattached garage, detached two-vehicle carport, workshop, and additional outbuilding -- ideal for hobbies, gardening, or storage. With a new roof installed in 2021, classic homestead charm, and acreage to breathe, this property is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Penderlea history.
