At first glance, this refreshingly white cottage has a modest garden, off-street parking, and an attractive wooden gate that hides an uncovered patio and covered front porch.

This home has a redesigned floorplan that accommodates several airy rooms, including its open living and dining rooms. Architectural highlights include its original pine flooring, plank ceilings, added center hall, and a freshly painted interior. We’re also a fan of this home’s soft color palette.

Its large eat-in kitchen sports a modern design, complete with stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, marble countertops and an attractively modern backsplash. As a bonus, this cottage’s kitchen leads directly to the covered front porch.

At 1,654 square feet, this home has three bedrooms (which share a walk-in closet) and 2.5 bathrooms.

An expansive brick patio and landscaped garden sit at the rear of this home.
