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 large room (once a bedroom) cleverly converted into a first-floor laundry space, but with endless potential as a combo laundry-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.
