Adorable City Island cottage with inviting backyard wants $385K

This adorable cottage, tucked away in one of the heavily-residential side streets of City Island, is on the market for $384,700. The single-story home, with its yellow shingle front facade and blue roof, comes with two bedrooms, and one bathroom. A lofted space above one of the bedrooms can serve as storage space or another sleeping area for guests.

The house opens up into the living room, which features windows on three sides and gets a decent amount of light. The bedrooms can be accessed through a corridor past the living room; both have barn-style sliding doors.

The kitchen is just beyond that and comes with stainless steel appliances, a glass tile backsplash, and quartz countertops. An adjacent built-in banquette offers some room for dining. The house’s only bathroom is across from the kitchen; it comes with a shower-tub combo and was recently renovated.

Aside from that, the house features hardwood flooring throughout, a basement for additional storage, and a large backyard that’s ideal for gardening and outdoor entertaining.
