Welcome to your cozy retreat on 31st Street in Barberton! Accessed via a private alley, enter into a cottage-like escape with a fenced in backyard and brick-style paver patio perfect for evening gatherings or quiet mornings with a steaming cup of coffee. The detached garage offers room for one car plus ample space for equipment and a handy workbench. Enter through the back door into a welcoming mudroom that flows seamlessly into the heart of the home, a spacious kitchen boasting fresh new flooring, a breakfast nook for weekend brunches, and a timeless backsplash that ties it all together with effortless elegance. From here, you have direct access to the large dining area, which opens to a generous living room, ideal for family movie nights or heartfelt conversations. On the main floor, discover a versatile room (once a bedroom) cleverly converted into a first-floor laundry space, but with endless potential as an additional small bedroom, home office, or whatever sparks your imagination. It's conveniently attached to the home's full bathroom, featuring soft green vintage charm that adds a touch of nostalgic appeal. Upstairs, two good sized bedrooms await, including one with a large closet and a delightful small loft- envision it as your personal reading nook, curled up with a book. You're close to local gems like Leach's Meats and Sweets for fresh baked goods and groceries, or Durbin's Magic Freeze for their legendary hot fudge- a true community staple that sweetens the deal. This isn't just a house; it's where comfort meets connection, inviting you to build memories in a town within close proximity to so many of Northeast Ohio's amazing attractions.
