A home with a story-and room to create your own. Tucked into the mature Divine Redeemer neighborhood, this truly special property offers a rare combination of character, privacy, gardens, and flexible living spaces. Set on a generous lot along a wide, quiet street, this beautifully maintained home is close to schools, parks, hospitals, and downtown. The inviting 9' x 20' covered front porch sets the tone for a home filled with warmth and charm. Inside, hardwood floors grace much of the main house, which features 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, a welcoming living room with gas fireplace, and a dining room with French doors opening to the backyard. The updated kitchen offers a large pantry and comfortable dining/sitting area. Mini-splits provide A/C, while brand-new furnaces in both the main house and cottage and a new sewer line provide added peace of mind. Step outside and discover your own private garden sanctuary. Flower and vegetable gardens surround multiple outdoor living spaces, including a 9' x 16' covered patio and adjacent 12' x 13' pergola-perfect for entertaining, dining outdoors, or simply enjoying a quiet afternoon with a good book. And then there is the one-bedroom cottage, complete with a full kitchen, bath, living/dining area, and private outdoor sitting space. Whether used for guests, multigenerational living, a home office, or another creative purpose, its possibilities are endless. An additional art studio offers even more room to create, work, or pursue a passion. A large two-car detached garage with alley access adds parking, storage, and workspace. This is more than a house-it is a property that invites a lifestyle: coffee on the front porch, gardens in bloom, dinners under the pergola, guests in their own cottage, and creativity in the studio. A rare opportunity to own a property with this much charm, flexibility, and possibility.
