This cozy Folk Victorian cottage sits on the western edge of the Lighthouse District, tucked into a deep, green lot where much of the day-to-day living spills outdoors.

Beneath a mature oak and surrounded by shrubs, flowers, and a layered garden, the home settles naturally into its setting, while the long front porch provides an outdoor room to enjoy the view.
