About the Listing REBCAB - 0581442,0706139

Step into a piece of storybook charm with this 1920 Tudor Revival cottage in Rising Star. Known for its steep gabled rooflines, arched brickwork, and rich stone exterior, this thoughtfully updated 2- bedroom, 1 bath home blends whimsical architecture with modern comforts. Inside, the handcrafted petrified wood fireplace steals the spotlight—featuring unique embedded details like fossils, two clay pipes, and natural stone elements. Though the chimney has been sealed due to the absence of a damper and limited repair options, it remains a beautifully preserved focal point in the living space. In addition to the two bedrooms, there’s a versatile bonus room with an exterior entrance—perfect for a home office, hobby room, or quiet retreat. Sitting on a generous 0.78-acre lot, the property features a large fenced backyard with a separate paddock space ideal for animals or additional use. A spacious covered patio with shade curtains and string lighting provides the perfect spot for relaxing or entertaining. Significant updates around 2012 included electrical, plumbing, kitchen, and bath renovations. Since 2022, the home has seen fresh interior and exterior paint, additional foundation supports, new luxury vinyl plank flooring, a completely remodeled bathroom with walk-in shower, and a newly constructed walk-in closet in the primary bedroom. Exterior enhancements include a new perimeter fence with an automatic gate opener for security, a dedicated dog run, and a detached 3-4 car carport with a two-bay garage or workshop added in 2020. Refrigerator, washer, and dryer are negotiable. This one-of-a-kind home offers a blend of history, character, and practical updates—ready for its next chapter. More info and floor plan available upon request.
