This 1940s North Downtown cottage offers city living with rare garden tranquility. Elevated from the road and nestled among mature plantings, it feels private and peaceful--yet it's just a 10-minute walk to the Downtown Mall's shops, restaurants, and entertainment. Inside, original hardwood floors and moldings meet a beautifully remodeled kitchen, a comprehensively renovated bath, and a sunlit dining addition overlooking the backyard. Freshly painted and move-in ready, the home features great natural light, built-ins, and a walkout basement ideal for storage, tools, or projects. The fenced yard is a four-season sanctuary with blooming perennials, peach trees, a raised bed, and a cool greenhouse--perfect for quiet mornings or lively evenings on the deck. A peaceful retreat with community connection, this home has been a true sanctuary--and now it's ready for its next chapter. SO MANY updates: Windows (2015), Fencing (2017), Furnace/Fridge (2019), Roof/Gutters/Gutter Guards (2021), Water Heater/All new Plumbing (2022), Chimney Liner/Cap (2023).
