Description
**The Cottage You Thought Only Existed in Storybooks.** Every once in a while, a home comes along that simply feels different. Hidden among towering trees and the gentle sounds of a meandering stream, this enchanting one-level cottage is the kind of place that invites you to slow down, breathe a little deeper, and remember what home is supposed to feel like. Wonderfully private, yet only minutes from shopping, restaurants and major highways, it offers the rare luxury of feeling worlds away while keeping everyday conveniences close at hand. Overflowing with warmth and character, the home welcomes you with engineered wood floors, sun-filled living spaces, skylights, and a cozy family room centered around a wood-burning fireplace with an electric insert. The charming three-season porch is destined to become your favorite room-perfect for morning coffee, afternoon reading or simply watching nature change with the seasons. Designed for easy one-level living, the home features a spacious primary bedroom with a beautiful bay window and custom California Closet, a generous second bedroom, two full bathrooms, inviting living and dining spaces, and a bright kitchen with solid wood cabinetry. Every room feels comfortable, welcoming and effortlessly livable. Step outside to a private patio overlooking a peaceful woodland setting where the property stretches beyond the stream to the distant tree line, creating an unexpectedly expansive retreat. Whether entertaining friends or enjoying the quiet soundtrack of birdsong and rustling leaves, you'll quickly understand why this property feels so special. Thoughtful improvements-including a whole-house generator, updated septic system/fields (2016), central air, digital thermostats, resealed driveway, attic storage, storage shed, and more-offer peace of mind while preserving the home's timeless charm. If you've been searching for the perfect alternative to condo living, where privacy replaces shared walls and nature replaces parking lots, you've just found it. **Some places are simply beautiful. Others make you wonder why you didn't find them sooner. This is your Shangri-La.**
