Description

This charming cottage has stood for over a century and blends historic character with thoughtful updates in one of the most highly sought after areas of Libbie & Grove. The first floor offers four distinct living spaces with 9' ceilings that includes a living room with fireplace, a formal dining room with access to the screened porch, family room and an updated kitchen and a combined laundry room with a convenient half bath. Upstairs you'll find two bedrooms with wood floors plus a flexible third room ideal as a home office/nursery/guest room/potential third bedroom. An unfinished basement provides excellent storage and has been waterproofed + high-end poly at crawlspace. This home enjoys 2 areas for outdoor living beginning with the inviting covered front porch complete with an oversized porch swing plus the rear screened porch overlooking the private backyard. Additional highlights include both front off-street parking for 2 and a private rear driveway with alley access. The current owners have made the following improvements: NEW roof (July 2026), refinished wood floors (June 2026) and a new water heater (2023). The current owners also installed professionally designed gardens, added a charming picket fence enclosing the front yard, installed irrigation in both the front and back yards and added an oversized shed with electricity. Inside, the owners focused on creating a custom built-in drop zone and living room bookscases, added a wall of kitchen cabinetry featuring a pantry, added matching granite countertops, and built-in dog crates that can easily be converted into additional lower cabinetry. The owners also replaced the main water line and enhanced the home's designer appeal with carefully selected lighting from Serena & Lily, Palette Home, and Shades of Light. This home is located on a block of Granite Avenue that enjoys the home values of the ongoing transformation of both Granite & Libbie Ave and is included in Tuckahoe Terrace's community events held in the pocket park. This is a one-of-a-kind home.
