This one-bedroom, one-bathroom home has been beautifully transformed, offering modern comforts just steps away from downtown shopping, entertainment, and other amenities like a massive basement.

This thoughtfully renovated cottage, updated from the studs in over the last 4 years, boasts custom hardwood flooring, butcher block countertops, a farm-style sink, and a tiled bathroom with a shower. Every inch of the home has been lovingly crafted, from the pitched ceiling in the bedroom to the Dutch oil-stained trim that adds a personal touch to the entire space. The kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring hand-laid tile, modern appliances, and an efficient galley design with a perfect working triangle for home chefs. At the far end of the home, the private bedroom offers high ceilings and handcrafted closets, creating a peaceful retreat after a long day. In the middle of the house, a custom "Winder" staircase leads to the basement, doubling the homes square footage with an additional 700 sqft of usable space.

Outside, youll find a covered walkway leading to the detached one-car garage, keeping winter maintenance simple and safe.
