CLASSIC CLAPBOARD COTTAGE
GARDENS, GREENERY & GOOD TIMES AWAIT!

Perched above the street behind a deep front garden, this classic Federal clapboard cottage feels delightfully removed from the city bustle, while placing Hill East's best conveniences at your doorstep. Stroll a single block for groceries at STREETS Market, Hill East Burger, dinner and drink options at The Roost food hall, or METRO! Here, errands are easy and evenings are easier.

Lovingly renovated by the owner of almost four decades and recently refreshed with new HVAC, siding, windows, and more, this inviting home blends cozy character with thoughtful updates. Inside, heart pine floors gleam through bright living and dining spaces and flow naturally toward the bright rear kitchen. Just beyond, a covered deck invites coffee, cocktails, and countless conversations.

Out back, a sweet garden sanctuary framed by towering evergreens that present a private oasis. Gather around the fire pit, grill for a crowd, string up the lights, and settle in for long summer evenings under the stars.

Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms offer room to rest, recharge, and work from home. The front bedroom rises above the treetops with elevated streetscape views, while the rear bedroom enjoys garden outlooks and opens to a private balcony. Skylights brighten the hall rear bedroom, filling the center of the home with warmth and natural light.

A secret historic “horse walk” path provides secure storage for bikes, tools, and outdoor gear while connecting the front and rear gardens. Morning miles on the River Trail, breezy bike rides, dog walks, and neighborhood dinners come naturally when parks, paths, and provisions are all within easy reach.
