About this home

Welcome to a charming 1945 cottage tucked away in beautiful Fountain City, where timeless character, thoughtful updates, and an incredible one-acre setting come together to create something truly special. Situated on a gorgeous, flat acre with no restrictions, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath home offers the warmth and craftsmanship of an older home along with updates that make everyday living comfortable and inviting. Step inside and you'll immediately notice the stunning hardwood floors, graceful arched doorways, original doors and hardware, and beautiful brick fireplace that give the home a character that's increasingly difficult to find. The dining room continues that charm with original built-in shelving, creating a wonderful backdrop for gatherings and everyday meals. The updated kitchen blends seamlessly with the home's classic style, featuring concrete countertops, newer white shaker cabinetry, subway tile backsplash, new stainless steel appliances, and updated lighting. Two spacious bedrooms are conveniently located on the main level, while the upstairs bonus room provides valuable additional space for a home office, playroom, guest area, studio, or hobby room. New carpet and a new mini-split HVAC system make the upstairs space comfortable and ready to enjoy. Outside is where this property becomes even more unique. The beautiful, level one-acre lot features mature trees that provide shade and character while still offering an abundance of open, cleared space. With no restrictions, there is tremendous potential to garden, entertain, add additional outdoor living space, create a workshop or simply enjoy the privacy and breathing room that comes with owning a full acre in such a convenient Fountain City location. From the original hardwoods and built-ins to the arched doorways, brick fireplace and vintage hardware, this is a home that has retained the details that make a 1940s cottage special. Full of character, thoughtfully updated, and situated on a beautiful unrestricted acre in Fountain City, this is a property you truly have to experience in person.
