Step into a storybook setting where timeless charm meets thoughtful modern living. Tucked behind a picture-perfect white picket fence, this French cottage-inspired 1937 Craftsman feels as if it were pulled from the pages of a fairytale. Lovingly updated while preserving its original character and history, the home offers inviting spaces and flexibility rarely found. The main level features a charming living room joined by a formal dining area, an updated kitchen with stainless appliances, two bedrooms and a full bath, with two additional bedrooms upstairs. Designed with multigenerational living or income potential in mind, the lower level includes a separate entrance, full kitchen, two bedrooms, a den and a full bath, creating an ideal private living space for guests or rental opportunities. Outside, the grounds are nothing short of enchanting. Mature English gardens surround the property with lush hydrangeas, countless boxwoods, lilacs, established rose gardens, and productive vegetable beds. Gather around the outdoor fireplace or retreat to the whimsical French pigeonnier-inspired potting shed complete with a loft, equally suited as a playhouse, creative studio, or garden escape. Practical updates include durable 50-year Presidential roofs and a detached two-car garage with loft storage above. Every corner of this property reflects care, craftsmanship, and charm, offering a rare opportunity to own a home that feels both historic and utterly magical.
