Introducing a new opportunity in the City of Gainesville: a charming cottage featuring an unparalleled backyard sanctuary. This property is being offered for the first time ever, having been owned by one family. This ranch style home exudes a mid-century feel with its large windows that flood the interior with natural light. It includes a spacious kitchen, both formal and casual dining rooms, a den/office with wood paneling, a living room featuring a brick gas-log fireplace, and enclosed sun porch, two bedrooms and one bathroom on the main floor. Additionally, the home offers an oversized wood deck, a partially finished basement ideal for a home office, flex space and ample storage. The owner is a Master Gardener and turned the backyard into an outdoor paradise, complete with a couple of ponds, tiers of hybrid trees and shrubs and multiple venues for sitting or lounging to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. This property is ideal for anyone seeking close proximity to downtown Gainesville, Northeast Georgia Health System, Brenau University and loves to indulge in substantial privacy, a cozy home and a picturesque backyard.
