Nestled on one of Anneslie’s most coveted tree-lined streets, this quintessential storybook cottage captures the perfect balance of nostalgic charm and crisp, modern updates. The journey begins on the deep front porch—an iconic neighborhood feature that offers a warm, timeless welcome. It is the ultimate vantage point for morning coffee or evening chats with neighbors, serving as a seamless bridge between the vibrant community outside and the serene sanctuary within.
Beyond the threshold, the home unfolds with an airy, sun-drenched feel. Original hardwood floors gleam under a thoughtful mix of natural light and modern recessed lighting, while the open staircase—rich with natural wood character—acts as a focal point for the main level. The layout is masterfully designed for the way we live today, flowing effortlessly from a cozy living room into a spacious dining area that cleverly incorporates a dedicated window-bench nook, perfect for a home office or a quiet afternoon read.
The completely modernized kitchen is a vibrant and inviting space, showcasing clean white Shaker-style cabinetry, a tile backsplash, and updated countertops. The light teal accent walls provide a lovely pop of color against the stainless steel appliances, and a central peninsula with a breakfast bar provides easy seating. The wood-patterned flooring flows into an incredibly convenient laundry and mudroom area, complete with a stacked washer/dryer and a full bathroom. From here, you can access the back deck which overlooks a fenced-in, level backyard, driveway and garage.
Ascending to the second level, you will find a beautifully updated and comfortable living space comprising three distinct bedrooms and a renovated full bathroom. Natural light fills each room through multiple windows. All three bedrooms maintain a bright, clean aesthetic, creating peaceful retreats. Completing the second floor is a pristine full bathroom that perfectly blends classic detail with modern renovation.
The finished lower level significantly expands the home's footprint, offering a versatile multi-purpose space that functions perfectly as a family media room, home gym, or any version you desire. To complete this level, a second full bathroom provides essential convenience. Access to this space is easy via the updated staircase, which features modern wood-plank treads and chic vertical paneling, ensuring the basement feels like a seamless extension of the upper floors.
The private outdoor oasis is designed for both relaxation and effortless hosting. A spacious, elevated wooden deck overlooks the level, lush green lawn. Below, a large patio creates a second gathering zone, currently centered around a fire pit and cozy Adirondack-style seating.
The backyard is fully enclosed by a combination of classic picket and privacy fencing, making it a safe haven for pets and play. Beautifully maintained landscaping, including a line of mature arborvitae and a stunning, pink-flowered tree, adds seasonal color and a natural sense of seclusion. For those with a green thumb, a raised garden bed is ready for summer planting.
Functional features abound, including a detached garage with a charming teal-painted side door that mirrors the home's playful interior accents. A wide driveway leads to a wooden gate, offering ample parking and a clean transition to the garage. Whether you're hosting a summer barbecue on the deck or gathered around the fire pit, this backyard serves as a perfect extension of the cottage's inviting charm.
This beautifully detailed cottage flawlessly merges historic charm with practical, stylish updates.
