About this House
A fantastically charming Mediterranean inspired stand-alone cottage in a courtyard setting with only 4 total cottages on the property.
This detached structure shares no walls with other cottages, it is separate and distinct and feels like your own quaint house.
This light-filled cottage is 1+ bedroom and 1 bathroom, with kitchen and living room and many upgrades.
The kitchen has wood cabinets with glass inlays and a genuine stone counter with a handful of amenities from the recent remodel: full size stove with hood, fridge, on-demand water heater, new undermount sink, tiled backspash, storage cabinets, and the convenience of a garbage disposal. It has a sweet dining bench for an eat-in table. The bathroom was completely renovated with a new vanity, tile, fixtures and bathtub.
The living room has a darling fireplace with newly tiled mantel and vintage style modern heater.
New energy efficient laundry units are installed in a closet as a convenience. The cottage floors in the living room, kitchen and bedroom are newly refinished hardwood in soft warm oak.
All of the light fixtures throughout the cottage are all new.
