There's something special about a home with history, and this charming 1938 Alcoa cottage has plenty of it. This 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers the character of an older home paired with thoughtful updates and a comfortable, functional layout.

The spacious kitchen features white cabinetry, generous counter space, stainless steel appliances, and plenty of storage, while the adjoining dining area is surrounded by windows and filled with natural light. Both bedrooms offer comfortable living space and ample storage, and the conveniently designed laundry and half-bath area makes excellent use of the home's square footage. Outside, a welcoming covered front porch adds to the home's classic cottage appeal, while the long driveway and covered parking provide plenty of off-street parking.
