This well-loved, 3-bedroom cottage is nestled into a quiet neighborhood in the heart of Midlothian. This home boasts a practical layout, and features lots of bright, natural light. Upon entering, you will find a large, flexible great room with a door to the back deck, and LVT flooring. The light-filled kitchen has room for seating, a pantry, wood cabinets, Formica countertops, a double-bowl stainless-steel sink, and newer, electric stainless-steel appliances. The kitchen provides quick access to the sunny dining room, and to an oversized laundry/mudroom. In addition to the space found here (room for drop-zones, hall organizers, and more), you will find the 1st floor's half bath. Upstairs, the primary bedroom is roomy and airy, and pairs with an en-suite full bath with double sinks, plus a generously sized walk-in closet with a bright window. Two additional bedrooms are located on this floor, with a full hall bath and linen closet. Outside, there is a large deck with two built-in benches. And, at just under a 1/2 acre, this home's low-maintenance backyard also has a 6-foot privacy fence, plus an additional weatherproofed storage/utility room. Lots of fresh paint, inside and out!
