Property Description

Open House Sunday, 2:00-4:00 PM Location, Location, Location! Enjoy the best of both worlds — peaceful living on a quiet dead-end street that feels like a hidden pocket neighborhood, yet only minutes from beloved Fountain City favorites like Pratt's Country Store and Litton's Market & Restaurant. Step into storybook charm at this historically lovely Fountain City cottage, where timeless character meets thoughtful updates. The inviting front porch with its cedar swing sets the tone for what's inside, while the home's original metal siding adds both retro curb appeal and lasting durability. Inside, vintage hardwood floors, crystal door knobs, and original built-ins preserve the home's 1940s charm. The updated cottage kitchen blends vintage warmth with modern convenience — featuring solid wood, floor-to-ceiling cabinets, custom shelving, and twin windows over the sink that flood the space with natural light. Recent upgrades include a brand-new KitchenAid French-door refrigerator, KitchenAid dishwasher, range, garbage disposal, and reverse-osmosis water filtration system. Outdoors, nature lovers will delight in the beautifully landscaped grounds, with 117 perennial plantings, a 40-foot flower bed, and a wooden trellis ready for climbing roses or vines. Seasonal color blooms from Summer Crush and Limelight hydrangeas, Encore azaleas, and pink rhododendrons, accented by a Jane magnolia, flowering crabapple, and lavender Natchez crape myrtle. The fenced backyard, shaded by mature trees, is perfect for kids, pets, and gatherings. A versatile three-in-one outbuilding provides covered parking, a workshop, and a garden shed. Downstairs, an unfinished basement offers excellent space and room for hobbies, seasonal decor, or tools. Recent updates bring peace of mind: buried downspout drainage, a 3-year-old water heater, a 4-year-old HVAC system, and energy-efficient honeycomb blinds throughout. This is more than a home — it's a timeless Fountain City cottage where history, nature, and Southern charm come together.
