This STORYBOOK CHARMER is the one you’ve been waiting for! Located on a historic brick road in the heart of Dade City, this beautifully renovated cottage offers affordable, worry-free, turnkey living loaded with character. The interior of this mid-century bungalow was thoroughly and lovingly remodeled in 2022. The quality of the work and materials exceeds many new construction homes, with no corners cut and no expense spared. The home has LUXURY VINYL FLOORING, SOLID CORE DOORS, and LED LIGHT FIXTURES throughout. The shotgun layout is characteristic of the home’s original era and made it possible to create an OPEN CONCEPT at the heart of the home for the living, dining, and kitchen. The kitchen is trimmed with a stunning beveled GLASS TILE BACKSPLASH that coordinates perfectly with the Bianco Antico GRANITE COUNTERTOPS. The home chef will appreciate the soft-close, SOLID WOOD CABINETRY and the extra-deep, double-basin sink with a high-end, COMMERCIAL GRADE FAUCET. All of the bathroom fixtures in the home were upgraded in the remodel as well. The main bathroom features a Kohler CAST-IRON tub/shower combo surrounded by classic SUBWAY TILE and a sliding GLASS DOOR ENCLOSURE. The INTERIOR LAUNDRY ROOM is equipped with a convenient built-in shelf and clothes rack, and this is also where you’ll find the HALF BATH. This bonus lavatory is essential for household functionality! Extensive STRUCTURAL and system upgrades provide peace of mind and potential insurance savings, including NEW PLUMBING (2022), water heater (2022), HVAC unit (2020), NEW DUCTWORK (2025), electric panel (2020), METAL ROOF (2020), windows (2016), Hardie exterior siding (2016), and new exterior paint (2025). This MOVE-IN READY home is situated on a high-and-dry hillside lot that is PARTIALLY FENCED and hosts a METAL SHED on a CONCRETE SLAB for added storage. The SPACIOUS CORNER LOT offers plenty of room, and with NO HOA or deed restrictions, you’ll enjoy carefree parking for your vehicles, camper, boat, and more. The location is highly WALKABLE to historic downtown Dade City events and amenities, including parks, schools, shops, restaurants, and more!
