OUTDOOR SPACE and YARD: The lawn is a work in progress and an RV is being stored next to the guest house. The other homes on property are a work in progress and may detract from the yard’s general visual appeal. The shared yard is fully fenced. Guests are provided a patio table and chairs in front of their “home away from home.” Solar lights come on in the evening to give the yard a charming place to relax and enjoy. From time to time, you may possibly see someone come by to do lawn maintenance, adjust sprinklers or do maintenance on one of the other houses.
MOTORHOME - Owner’s motorhome is stored in the driveway next to this cottage, as seen in the listing photos. It is parked between Guest Cottage A and Guest Cottage B (This listing is for Cottage B.)
MULTI-HOUSE PROPERTY: This guest house is one of three separate houses on one property. It enjoys a fenced yard which is behind the main house and shared with another little guest house. The other units are currently unoccupied and being remodeled. SEPARATE main house and a SEPARATE second guest house are currently being remodeled. These are separate houses and any work being done will be done during reasonable work hours. This should not affect your stay since they are all completely separate buildings. Since the other two houses are still a work in progress, they are not yet in the same updated condition as the guest house you’ll be staying in. We list the yard as a SHARED SPACE as there may be someone entering the backyard to access the second guest house while it is being remodeled. They will not have any access to your guest house and they will respect your privacy. The property is an overall work in progress, however we are so excited to share this unique historical district guest cottage with you!
GUEST - Enjoy your own private Studio Guest Cottage and the grassy common-area yard. Cottage entrance can be accessed either from the private parking space located directly behind the cottage or street parking in front of the property.
