Indulge in the serenity and simplicity of life nestled within one of Guilford's most enchanting storybook cottages. Situated just a Tulip's toss away from the renowned Sherwood Gardens, yet secluded from the hustle and bustle you'll be hard pressed to find a more romantic location in Guilford. This residence checks all the boxes combining an irresistibly charming cottage exterior with all the modern updates you've been seeking. Step inside to discover spacious yet traditionally styled rooms, thoughtfully designed to offer a seamless flow and practicality suited to accommodate any lifestyle. The kitchen, meticulously renovated by the current owners, boasts a spacious layout with ample counter and storage space. It seamlessly connects to both a cozy family room and an expansive formal dining room, ensuring an effortless option for family time or entertaining. A highlight of the home is the generously sized living room, adjoined by a stunning sunroom with 3 walls of floor to ceiling windows that offer wonderful natural light and unobstructed views of the gardens surrounding the home. Upstairs, three oversized bedrooms await, along with two full bathrooms and the convenience of a washer and dryer—rare finds in Guilford. The Primary Suite is a retreat unto itself, featuring beautiful hardwood floors, expansive windows, a large walk-in closet, and a fully updated en-suite bathroom. Bedrooms 2 and 3 provide ample space for children, guests, or home offices, while the renovated center hall bathroom is accessible to all. The basement offers even more living space, with tall ceilings and the potential to add a fourth bedroom without sacrificing the sizable bonus room that currently exists. The half bathroom offers further flexibility, with the possibility of conversion to a full bathroom. There is also full walk out egress and multiple large storage rooms. And what would a storybook cottage be without an equally charming story book lot? This home features .14 acres, totally flat, and impeccably landscaped with gorgeous seasonal perennials that will keep any gardener happy. Half of the yard is already fully fenced- perfect for kids or pets. And take a short walk down a historic stone path and under lush evergreens to find a private herringbone brick patio. And just outside of the privacy fence is an attached 1 car garage to be use as you see fit. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this home boasts numerous important upgrades, including dual-zone HVAC systems replaced within the last two years, mini-split additions ensuring year-round comfort in the sunroom and basement, professionally reglazed windows, a tankless water heater, and a water filtration system. The original slate roof has been maintained annually but the roof over the garage and the addition were recently replaced. In a neighborhood dominated by expansive center hall colonials in need of renovation, this sweet home stands apart, requiring nothing of you but offers you back the perfect story book home to create your very own story book life in.
