Set well back from the street on a one-acre lot with mature trees, the cabin is surrounded by an expansive lawn in the front and brome grass in the back. Relax instantly upon arrival to this unique property and feel surprisingly connected to nature while in a central part of the city. Extremely private and quiet, the cabin is shares an acre lot with just one other house, but plan on visits from deer, song birds and possibly other wildlife throughout the year.

The full bath with a large block glass window, wifi, a standard size washer and dryer along with loads of built-in storage round out the indoor amenities.
