The story
If you'd seen this home a few years ago, when the current owners bought it, you would've kept on driving. It's been completely transformed from the most neglected house on the block to one of its biggest charmers. Every corner shows the love that's gone into it. Original crown molding and shuttered windows give it the timeless character of a classic cottage, and it's been thoughtfully updated where it counts: new windows throughout (2025), updated HVAC and bathroom plumbing within the last year, and a brand-new toilet. Step past the brick-lined walkway and covered front porch into a bright, welcoming living room that flows straight into a farmhouse-style kitchen custom cabinetry, tile counters, and a barn door that opens to the indoor laundry area, giving it real personality. The dining area, anchored by a breakfast bar bridging kitchen and table, is made for morning coffee and Sunday dinners alike. Two additional rooms add flexibility you don't expect in a home this size currently a nursery and a sunny front office with a picture window overlooking the neighborhood, but just as easily a hobby space or guest room. The bathroom has been refreshed with a new tiled shower surround. Out back is where this place really shines: a covered patio and fire pit overlook a fully fenced yard built for gardeners, with raised beds, a shady arbor, mature landscaping, and even a chicken coop for the homesteader in you the kind of backyard made for slow mornings with coffee and weekend evenings with family. A long driveway leads to a carport/garage for extra parking or storage. The neighborhood matches the house the kind of block where neighbors know each other by name, kids ride bikes after school, and people still wave from the yard. With its size, price point, and move-in-ready condition, this is the kind of home that makes sense for a first-time buyer all the charm of an older Lodi cottage without a project list attached.
