If you've always dreamed about a cozy cottage tucked in the midst of lush, blooming gardens, put this one on your list. Offering outstanding affordability & sustainability, this home is located just a few blocks from the Roanoke River Greenway & the Mill Mountain trail system, with sidewalk access to two different city parks down the street -- it's an outdoor-lover's paradise. It's also been lovingly updated by its current owners, with the best of its vintage charm still intact (Original hardwoods? Arched doorways? Crystal doorknobs? Check, check and check!). You'll love the fully-paid-for solar panels, along with a replacement roof ('23); replacement windows, siding & heat pump ('24); upgraded electrical ('25), an option for laundry on the main OR lower level, and verdant gardens full of fruit trees, berries, herbs, flowers, & edible landscaping, all just waiting for your harvest. Move right into this turn-key nest, or imagine what you'd do next: a cottage-style kitchen with a colorful Smeg refrigerator? A big screened porch for admiring the gardens? Come dream about what you'd create with a home under $210K!
