Welcome to this enchanting 1940 storybook home, nestled in the Talbot midtown neighborhood where community connection thrives. Here, children ride their bikes on the tree-lined streets, neighbors engage in friendly chats, and dogs parade with their owners while birds, grey squirrels and occasional wild turkeys add to the idyllic setting. This highly sought-after area is perfect for those who appreciate a sense of nostalgia, natural beauty and community. Step inside this single level, 3 bedroom 1.5 bath cottage to discover preserved architectural details, including a coved ceiling and a classic fireplace in the living room, along with built-in entry nook and bookcases that add character and charm. The home is bathed in natural light, thanks to an abundance of multi-paned windows. Vintage touches like original door peek, mail slot, milk delivery door, and the built-in ironing board evoke the charm of a bygone era. Recently refreshed inside with fresh paint and refinished hardwood floors, the home also features upgraded bamboo flooring in the kitchen and laundry areas, new(er) appliances, and air conditioning, prioritizing comfort with a seamless blend of vintage and modern conveniences. Outside, the property is surrounded by seasonal beauty, including a gorgeous tulip magnolia tree, window baskets, a stunning (80+ year old) Japanese maple, prolific fruit trees, and lavish red climbing roses in the front, providing year-round visual delight and natural shade for the house in the summer months. The front and back patios invite quiet moments and entertaining potential. The 400 sq ft detached garage and outdoor spaces offer endless possibilities for your hobbies and creative vision (future ADU?). Located near delightful bakeries, restaurants, Providence/Memorial Medical Center, and Montgomery Village. Desirable Proctor Terrace Elementary is the assigned lower school.
