About this home

Step into the timeless charm of this beautifully preserved 1925 cottage, where historic character and thoughtful craftsmanship create a warmth rarely found in newer homes. From the rich hardwood floors to the intricate crown molding, original door handles, detailed baseboards, ceiling to floor windows, every space reflects careful thought, classic architectural elegance, and attention to detail.

Perfectly situated minutes from Hwy 74 shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences, this home sits on nearly a half acre lot and offers the peaceful feeling of country living while still being close to the heart of Shelby.

The spacious and inviting living room offers a fireplace with gas logs, creating the perfect atmosphere for entertaining or relaxing evenings at home. The dining area features a solid brick, wood burning fireplace that adds the perfect touch to the in-home dining experience. Featuring 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths, the home blends comfort and character throughout.

The private primary suite offers a serene retreat complete with its own bath and a charming clawfoot tub, adding yet another touch of vintage elegance to this one-of-a-kind home.

Enjoy quiet mornings on the rocking chair front porch, host gatherings on the spacious grilling patio, and appreciate the perfectly sized backyard designed for easy outdoor living. Two outdoor buildings provide plenty of storage.

A rough rule — actual qualification depends on your full debt picture, credit, and the lender. John can introduce you to lenders he trusts.

Numbers are a directional estimate. Actual monthly cost varies by lender, credit, taxes assessed at closing, and insurance carrier. This is not a loan offer or pre-approval.
