Description

Offering exceptional flexibility in beloved Norhill Heights, 816 W Cottage St is an updated Craftsman-style home with historic designation and a versatile layout that can live as 2–3 bedrooms in the main house, plus a 4th bedroom and 3rd full bath in the detached garage apartment. A charming front porch, gated driveway, mature tree canopy, and classic bungalow architecture create a warm first impression. Inside, hardwood floors, crown molding, cased windows, and natural light enhance the open floor plan. The kitchen features quartz counters, stainless steel appliances, an island, and breakfast bar seating. The primary suite opens through French doors to a luxurious bath.
