About This Property
STEP INTO HISTORY, CHARACTER & TIMELESS ELEGANCE! Prepare to fall
in love with this breathtaking Victorian-style home, built in the
early 1900s and known historically as The Cottage. Situated on
approximately 0.92 M/L acres on its original footprint, this
remarkable property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of
local history while enjoying the space and conveniences of today.
With approximately 3,304 sq. ft. of finished living space, this
one-of-a-kind home is conveniently located near shopping, schools,
parks, and everyday amenities. Stepping through the front door,
you're immediately surrounded by the craftsmanship and
architectural details that make historic homes so special. Original
hardwood flooring, an impressive original wooden staircase,
generous rooms, soaring ceilings, and intricate details throughout
create an atmosphere that simply cannot be duplicated in modern
construction. The main level features a spacious great room, formal
dining room, den that could easily serve as a main-level primary
bedroom, and a full bathroom with a walk-in ceramic-tiled shower
and ceramic tile flooring. The newly renovated kitchen is tucked
toward the rear of the home and flows beautifully into a charming
year-round sunroom featuring vaulted wood ceilings and an electric
fireplace. From the sunroom, step outside to the back patio and
enjoy the mature landscaping and fruit trees. The formal dining
room is truly a showstopper, featuring elegant double pocket doors
and a magnificent fireplace crafted from tiger wood imported from
England-a stunning reminder of the home's remarkable history. The
second floor offers three bedrooms and a full bathroom, while the
third floor provides two additional rooms without closets, offering
incredible flexibility for sleeping quarters, offices, hobby rooms,
creative spaces, or additional living areas. With its versatile
layout and abundance of space, this home can easily adapt to a
variety of lifestyles and needs. But the history doesn't stop at
the architecture. The Cottage was once known as a place where
travelers could rent rooms for just $2 per day. Today, that
fascinating legacy opens the door to exciting possibilities for an
owner looking to restore the home's lodging tradition as an Airbnb,
short-term rental, bed-and-breakfast, or unique guest
accommodation, subject to applicable local regulations. Or simply
make this extraordinary property your personal residence, just as
