This cutie just got a great price reduction! If you're looking for a sweet, cozy cottage in an exceptional location, this is your golden opportunity. Set on a large, level 7,560 sq. ft. lot, the home enjoys generous setbacks from neighbors and the street, creating a lovely sense of privacy and openness. Located across from the play field, you'll appreciate the convenient access to recreation. Inside, the living space feels open and peaceful, with lots of natural light. The bedroom comfortably fits a queen bed, and the full bath features a classic claw foot tub. Beneath the carpet you'll find fir floors, and the home also offers double-pane windows, updated electrical, an insulated attic, and fresh paint throughout. A full, unfinished basement with good ceiling height houses the laundry and offers potential for future finished space. Outside, a carport with an electric car charger provides off-street parking, and the gracefully treed yard has plenty of room for play, pets, and gardening - with possible future development potential. The gazebo's solar collectors supply much of the home's electricity. Additional highlights include gutter guards, a 50-year roof warranty, and an unimproved alley behind the property for added privacy. The location is unbeatable - close to Westwood shopping, Southwest Pool, and excellent transit access.
