From the moment you step inside, you'll be captivated by the character and warmth that fills every corner of this home. Original hardwood floors, a beautifully salvaged antique cypress mantle, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace are just a few of the standout features that make this place truly special. The kitchen boasts a tongue and groove ceiling, a large apron sink, open shelving, and original cabinetry, creating a perfect blend of old-world charm and modern convenience. The sunroom, bonus room, and built-in glass cabinets offer plenty of space for flexibility and storage. Original wooden windows flood the home with natural light, while dimmable recessed lighting sets the perfect mood in the evenings. Step outside onto the screened porch, a peaceful retreat that seamlessly extends the living space of the home. It's the ideal spot to relax in a rocking chair and enjoy the beauty of the country setting. Attached to the screened porch you'll find a newly remodeled laundry room with useful worktop counter. The cottage sits on an oversized .65 acre lot with views of idyllic pastures and grazing cows in the distance. In the backyard, you'll find a fire pit area as well as a privacy wall nook that would be perfect for a fountain or bistro set. With no restrictions, feel free to let your chickens free range here! As you stroll around the property, you'll find a handful of mature fruit trees including satsuma, orange, persimmon, two blueberry bushes, blackberries, and a struggling fig tree. The property is also lucky enough to have three beautiful live oak trees!
