Property details

About 4000 Ethel Ave

Tucked beneath a canopy of shade trees on a sunny corner lot, this 1948 cottage has been beautifully re-done, with just enough soul to feel storied, and just enough sparkle to feel brand new. Inside, you’ll find warm wood-toned floors that run the length of the home, guiding you from a bright living room with an inviting modern fireplace straight into a cheerful dining space and a navy-hued kitchen with butcher-block counters and a built-in oven that gives a nod to vintage style without sacrificing functionality. The layout offers three bedrooms and two thoughtfully updated baths, including a calm and collected primary suite with a walk-in shower wrapped in striking star-patterned tile behind custom glass doors. Every space feels considered. crisp trim work, soft natural light, and just enough charm to remind you that homes can have personality, too. Out back, a freshly fenced yard offers room to relax, stretch out, or dream up your next garden project, all shaded by mature trees that have been around long enough to keep secrets. Located minutes from Wooded Acres shopping, dining, and essentials, it’s that just-right mix of character and convenience, proof that they really don’t make them like this anymore.
