QUINTESSENTIAL DOWNTOWN COTTAGE

Instant gratification is a rare thing indeed but 12 Grove Ave delivers it in style. Life in this quintessential downtown cottage is all about fun. Enjoy having all the magic of the city with architectural, culinary, cultural and scenic offerings within an easy stroll both north and south. Delight in living in a house where every inch has been attended to with a watchful eye so all that’s left to do is whatever your heart desires. Graceful palms and fragrant citrus bushes decorate the front yard.

Cross the threshold into the Florida room. Five windows assure a well lighted room all day and it’s just the spot for coffee and the sunrise. French doors open to a classic living room with dark stained pine floors and a crisp white fireplace flanked by two windows. It’s easy to connect to gas and have a fire on those chilly nights we sometimes get in winter. Don’t miss the glass tile stripe over the French doors – it catches the afternoon sun. Generous dining room flows easily from living to kitchen so entertaining is simple and everyone stays connected. Soft cork flooring makes your feet happy while you prepare memorable meals. Shaker cabinets, colonial white granite, beadboard wainscot, subway tile, extra prep sink and a great pot rack will inspire you to flex your cooking muscle! Laundry room and broom closet are by the back door with easy access to the courtyard from the kitchen.

Master bedroom has a lovely en-suite bathroom with slipper tub, linen cabinet and vanity reflecting the period. 2nd bedroom is adjacent to hall bath with large shower. A ladder in the hall takes you to fully paneled attic – excellent flex space.

The pavered courtyard is a sunny and private area for grilling, dining and exercising your green thumb. There’s a closet for garden tools and a workshop off the carport. One path leads you to the street and another to the front yard. Full time residence, 2nd home or a getaway for you or paying guests – everyone will love time spent in this happy house.
