A CUPCAKE OF A COTTAGE

A cupcake of a cottage – this little burst of sunshine is neat as pin, in great condition and ready for down-sizers, small footprinters and weekenders alike. No wasted space in this 810 square foot home with a white picket fence out front located on the south end of Lincolnville. There’s a great front porch where you can admire your flower garden and watch the oranges take shape on your citrus tree. Living, dining and the galley kitchen are all in one sunny open space.

The guest room and the nicely tiled hall bath are located off the living room so there’s some privacy between the bedrooms. The galley kitchen is a study in white and blue with tiled countertops for an all purpose surface. At the back, the en-suite master spans the width of the house and there’s room for that king-sized bed if desired. One door leads to a wee screened porch for a solitary moment with your coffee in the morning. Another leads out to a 370 square foot open deck that wraps around the south side of the house where you can enjoy the canopy of pecan, magnolia and oak trees that provide a lovely backdrop from the neighbors’ yards. Pale bamboo flooring throughout is cool on the feet and attractive to the eye and the interior has been freshly painted in a soothing colors.

The property is fully fenced with a white picket around the front and a privacy shadowbox fence in the back with brick paths meandering to and fro. Mechanicals are up-to-date and the efficient HVAC system was installed in 2005. A sprinkler system will keep the gardens happy and free your time up for some serious people-watching from the porch. From here it’s a five minute bike ride to the Plaza and a five minute stroll to Lake Maria Sanchez or the community garden at the south end of Lincolnville
