About this home
Welcome to 1700 Cottage Ave E, a beautifully maintained and thoughtfully updated bungalow that tells a story of care, comfort, and long-term value, lovingly owned by the same owners for over 26 years and ready for its next chapter. From the moment you arrive, the home draws you in with its charming curb appeal, updated landscaping, and a fully fenced backyard that creates a private outdoor retreat, complete with an oversized deck perfect for entertaining, relaxing evenings, and making lasting memories. Step inside and you are immediately greeted by natural light pouring through updated windows throughout, highlighting the warmth of refinished hardwood floors and the clean, refreshed feel of updated flooring and fresh paint across the main living areas. The main level offers 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom, providing both functionality and convenience, while the kitchen serves as a true centerpiece with updated cabinetry, modern touches, and a beautiful lookout window that frames the expansive backyard, seamlessly connecting indoor living with outdoor enjoyment. Upstairs, the private primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with its own half bathroom and the potential to be transformed into a full en suite, adding both comfort and future value. The lower level expands the living space even further with a large family room that provides incredible flexibility, whether you envision a home office, entertainment area, or the addition of a 4th or even 5th bedroom along with a potential 3/4 bathroom.
