They say you eat with your eyes first. This storybook cottage is no different. Its curb appeal, with the iron filigree flower boxes and porch railing, flagstone walkway and lush landscaping, captures your attention and invites you in. Once inside, you realize what a charming cottage 30 Lakeshore Drive really is. Due to its east/west layout, natural light floods every room and showcases the warmth of the refinished hardwood floors. From the front of the house, you have a direct view into the lush back yard with its variety of established plants; the product of an avid gardener. You can feel the ‘good bones’ of older construction, from the all-brick exterior to the interior details like solid wood doors and plaster walls.

What you can easily see in this 3 bed/2 bath home is a renovated kitchen with newer appliances (gas range is brand new!), two flex rooms offering greater versatility in the ~1,603sf, large bedrooms, and abundant closet space. The extras you may not immediately notice, but are larger ticket items already taken care of: the roof (2 y/o), furnace and tankless hot water heater (5 y/o), and the wildlife extension and termite bond. You get peace of mind so you can enjoy your community--down the street from Avondale Lake and the Community Club, and a short stroll to Tudor Village, Town Green, parks, schools, Avondale Pool and Tennis Club, and the independent retail and dining establishments rooted in Avondale. Welcome to Avondale Estates historic district. You're going to love it here!
