    Property Description

    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. This home has been thoughtfully updated with key improvements that provide confidence and peace of mind, including updated wiring and electrical panel, a newer HVAC system with furnace replaced in 2024 and central air installed in 2016, a water heater in 2020, chimney liner in 2020, basement windows in 2022, roof and gutters in 2023, along with a garage door and opener replaced in 2020, a new screen door in 2023, and a shed added in 2023 for extra storage. With over 1, 800 finished square feet, a layout that supports both everyday living and future expansion, and a location that offers both convenience and lifestyle, this home is the perfect opportunity for anyone looking to scale, build equity, and grow into a space over the next 15 to 30 years.
