With its cottage-like character and leafy surroundings, the home carries the easy romance of an East Coast bungalow while remaining firmly rooted in the hills of Highland Park.Inside, warmth and simplicity set the tone. Sunlight moves easily through the home, illuminating spaces that feel comfortable, inviting, and full of character. The living areas flow naturally, with a cozy den that offers a perfect spot for reading, working from home, or simply settling in for a slow afternoon.Two bedrooms and one and a half baths provide an easy, functional layout, while the thoughtfully updated kitchen and baths balance modern convenience with the home's original charm. Overhead, a bonus attic space adds welcome flexibility, ready to serve as a creative nook, extra storage, or a quiet workspace.What truly sets this property apart is the land. The oversized lot offers an uncommon sense of privacy and possibility, with mature shade and fruit trees scattered throughout the yard. It is the kind of outdoor space that invites gardening, gathering with friends, or simply enjoying the calm of a green, open setting.A large two car garage with an attached storage room adds practicality and plenty of room for projects, tools, or weekend hobbies.Though tucked away on its peaceful cul-de-sac, the home remains close to the energy of the neighborhood. The restaurants, cafs, and beloved local spots along York Boulevard are nearby, offering an easy connection to the vibrant community while preserving the quiet comfort of home.Charming, private, and full of soul, this is a place that feels both timeless and deeply livable.
