Property is move-in ready.
Despite the 1958 build date, the property is in move-in ready condition with significant recent capital improvements including a newer electrical panel (within 2 years), roof repairs, and rebuilt decks. The interior features dual-pane windows and updated flooring, and the bathroom is well-maintained with modern fixtures, meeting the criteria for a well-maintained home with 5-15 year renovation elements.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7405, living area = 747.
The owners have proactively addressed major maintenance items, including a newer electrical panel, roof repairs, and completed termite work, ensuring a move-in-ready experience for the buyer.
The inclusion of dual-pane windows, an air conditioning unit, and an interior laundry closet provides a level of modern convenience often missing in older mountain cabins.
At 747 square feet with only one bedroom, the property's small footprint may limit its appeal to larger families or those requiring a dedicated home office.
The home contains a 3/4 bathroom rather than a full bath, which could be a drawback for buyers who prioritize having a bathtub.
Discover this delightful 1-bedroom, 3/4-bath cottage on Tollgate, where rustic warmth meets thoughtful updates and modern comfort. The interior showcases beautiful tongue-and-groove wood finishes that enhance its inviting, cabin-like character. An open floor plan seamlessly connects the well-equipped kitchen--complete with ample cabinet space--to the spacious living room, anchored by a cozy fireplace with insert, and a dedicated dining area. A convenient closet houses a stacked washer and dryer, while the private bedroom offers direct access to the back deck and yard. The 3/4 bathroom features a stylish pedestal sink and linen closet for added storage. The owners have proactively addressed all deferred maintenance, including completed termite work, reinforced and rebuilt decks, a fully fenced backyard, and a new privacy screen on the deck. Additional recent improvements include exterior paint touch-ups, freshly painted trim, roof repairs with mostly new eaves, and a newer electrical panel installed within the past two years. Dual-pane windows help keep the home cool and quiet, complemented by an air conditioning unit in the living area for year-round comfort. Current home and termite inspections completed in June are available for buyer review. Outside, the fully fenced and level backyard provides a private, easy-to-maintain oasis. The generous back deck is perfect for al fresco dining or unwinding, while the front deck and gated entry enhance privacy and curb appeal. Mostly furnished for easy move-in living, this quaint Tollgate cottage offers turnkey comfort, character, and peace of mind in a peaceful setting.
