SIMPLE RENOVATED COTTAGE

Living larger than it looks, this Oyster Creek home offers simple cottage living with a healthy dose of original detail and a list of renovations from the past seven years. A wide front porch is screened and overlooks the street from its high perch. Two front doors take you to either the living room on the left or the dedicated office on the right. Horizontal beadboard lines the walls and blond wood laminate flooring runs throughout the entire house except for the bathroom which is tiled. Living room, dining room and kitchen run front to back along the north side of the house so the flow is easy and you can incorporate both front and rear porches into the mix if the gathering is a large one.

Updated in the past years, the kitchen offers maple cabinetry with a cottage design, ample counterspace and a full appliance package. Both bedrooms are on the south side flanking a black and white bathroom with a handpainted Spanish sink set in a wooden cabinet. If you’re a fan of long baths, this room will make you happy – a serene space to wash off the day.

A wide back porch spans the house and you’ll find the washer and dryer housed here. Measuring 19′ x 9’6, there’s room for outdoor dining and a host of other activities. The carport is tucked between the porch and the “studio” workshop. A window air conditioner keeps you cool while you work at your particular hobby and it’s a shady spot with a tree canopy behind it. A long driveway on the south side can accommodate several cars comfortably and there’s a storage shed at the end of it. With lots of sun in the south side yard, this is the spot to test out your green thumb. Don’t miss the pretty side steps leading to the back porch – a touch of artistic whimsy, it will make you smile every time.

Oyster Creek is a city neighborhood predominantly composed of cottages and it’s an easy reach to King Street, US1 and SR207 for the commuters in the group. Equally easy to get to the shops and restaurants on the west and east sides of King Street and bikers and walkers can leave the car at home since it’s all within range.
