Overview

Description

Step into a slice of pure Americana in the heart of Cottagewood. This 1940s cottage is the definition of charm, with quintessential curb appeal, classic shake siding, and a welcoming front porch.

At the heart of the home, a bright living room anchored by a gas fireplace and built-in cabinetry flows naturally into the dining area and kitchen. A versatile flex space, currently used as an office, adds everyday convenience with a discreet powder room and laundry.

Step into a slice of pure Americana in the heart of Cottagewood. This 1940s cottage is the definition of charm, with quintessential curb appeal, classic shake siding, and a welcoming front porch. Meticulously maintained and rich with character, the home offers a seamless main level layout that feels both cozy and surprisingly spacious. At the heart of the home, a bright living room anchored by a gas fireplace and built-in cabinetry flows naturally into the dining area and kitchen. A versatile flex space, currently used as an office, adds everyday convenience with a discreet powder room and laundry.

Outside is where the property truly shines. The generous lot offers a rare sense of space and includes a historic stone fireplace/grill element that lends a touch of local lore. Whether you are waving to neighbors passing by or tucked into the more secluded rear patio, the outdoor spaces are made for slow mornings with coffee and easy evenings unwinding. The setting is second to none for anyone drawn to the lakeside lifestyle, just blocks from the LRT trail, tennis courts, sandy beaches, and the legendary Cottagewood General Store. Move right in and enjoy the vintage charm exactly as it is. And for those who see further, this expansive parcel quietly invites a future all its own and is perfectly suited for a "pop the top" concept.
