Peacefully located on a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of Rose Park, this tidy brick cottage boasts the kind of curb appeal that gets attention, solar panels, and an interior that's bound to make you want to stay home. Equal parts open and cozy, we're particularly drawn to the darling bay window-complete with comfy seat for a cup of tea or a book-that frames a sunny dining area just next to the updated kitchen. In here, you'll find a lovely glass backsplash, bright cabinetry, and quartz countertops that lend a modern vibe for chefs of all skill levels. Connected seamlessly to the primary living space, which is grounded beautifully by warm hardwood floors and a toasty fireplace, both rooms offer the perfect gathering space for family/friends (or the perfect place in which to quietly relax after a long day). A porch out front has been charmingly updated with a new wood railing and overhang, making for a welcoming feel and an idyllic place for a bistro table or a pair of rocking chairs. Downstairs, you'll find loads of natural light, thanks to egress windows in each bedroom. Crisp, clean finishes down here keep things feeling fresh and open-a second living room provides space for game nights, movies, or a good workout space, and the separate laundry keeps things tucked away and neat. Outside, an oversized, two-car garage means ample storage space for all of your gear, and some solar panels help to keep things running efficiently. The backyard consists of a concrete pad, small grassy area, and side-yard area...or in other words, plenty of room to create exactly the outdoor retreat you want, whether that includes a garden, a hen house, a kiddie pool, or simply a BBQ and a couple of lawn chairs. For those looking for a centrally located, wonderfully updated abode close to downtown, we'd certainly say that this is the place.
