CUTE LINCOLNVILLE COTTAGE

Easy on the eyes and easy on the budget, this Lincolnville cottage has that vintage look but it’s only 7 years old so forget about weekend chores and enjoy life. South of South Street, it’s located on the strictly residential end of Buena Esperanza and who can resist living in a neighborhood called Good Hope? An excellent people-watching front porch assures that you will know all the neighbors (and their dogs!) in short order and it’s a great spot to enjoy morning coffee and evening cocktails.

An open floor plan is illuminated by diffused sunshine and the gathering areas and kitchen are generously proportioned. Arrange furniture as your lifestyle dictates – there’s room for everything. A wide breakfast bar separates the kitchen and there is ample room for one, two or more people working side by side in this large space. So many cabinets for storage and abundant counterspace can handle anything you cook up.

En-suite master is at the back of the house overlooking the yard. The walk-in closet is a room unto itself (10’3 x 6’7) so there will be no storage problems here. Two guest rooms flank the hall bath located off the living room so privacy is assured for all. Just behind the kitchen, the laundry room is handily out of sight and provides additional room to store dry goods, vacuum cleaner and other things you regularly need.

Pack your green thumb because this yard is longing for someone to take it from its blank canvas status and make it lush and colorful. A white vinyl fence makes a great backdrop for some flowers and there’s plenty of sun to start a vegetable garden unless you’d rather join the Community Garden two blocks away. Up front there’s pavered parking with enough room for several cars off-street. For big parties this can double as a patio for spillover.

It’s an easy walk/bike ride to the heart of town but you can enjoy the Blue Hen (excellent food), the Corner Market (so convenient) and a dip in the pool at the Galimore Center, all in the neighborhood!
