Motivated Seller! This cottage on Dorothy Lane is home to a charmed life. Quaint and comfortable, it sits nestled on a shared alley leading back to a heated 2 car garage with additional parking. This unique block home features dentil molding around the exterior, and lovely architectural casings around the entrances. A large deck welcomes you inside to either a large family room for greeting guests or a separate laundry/mud room perfect for unloading groceries. The easy one story living of this home provides a flexible layout: the family room could be used as an additional bedroom with an attached half bath, or a bonus space of your choice. Inside you will find an abundance of light from the large windows in every room! The living room offers access to the front door and a generous covered front porch facing Dorothy. Additional charm includes the fireplace with a beautiful stone surround and built in mantel, stucco finished walls and ceilings, and newer LVP flooring. Off the dining room is a galley kitchen with an updated refrigerator and stove, but if vintage is what you like you will love the original cabinets! From the living room a hallway connects 2 bedrooms to the full bathroom sporting vintage tile and a shower/tub combo. A backyard is located behind the garage for a bit of green space or garden. Home needs some TLC. Updates include newer roof (4 years old) and 80 gallon water heater. Seller is offering an American Home Shield Home Warranty for buyers’ peace of mind. Located only minutes from Oakwood’s shops & eateries, The Greene, The Fraze and the brand new Gentile Park. The cozy comfort of this home truly is something special; check it out today!
