FEATURE HOME:

804 COTTAGE AVE., MIAMISBURG

Sitting on a corner lot just minutes from downtown Miamisburg, this two-bedroom bungalow has large social rooms and a full, unfinished basement.

Listed for $109,900 by Collins Real Estate Services, the vinyl-sided house at 804 Cottage Ave. has about 960 square feet of living space. The vinyl-sided exterior is complemented by dimensional roof shingles, and there is a brick-accented front porch.

Concrete walkways lead to the porch, around the house and to the one-car, detached garage. The garage has front entry off the side street and has a side service door. There is extra off-street parking, and the property has alley access.

In the home, tall vinyl windows are surrounded by natural woodwork. An updated, leaded-glass front door with a glass storm-door, opens directly into the formal living room, which has six windows and a guest closet. Two windows flank a decorative brick fireplace with a wood-beam mantel. Carpeting fills the living room and continues into the formal dining room, hallway and bedrooms.

The kitchen has a wall of oak cabinets and Corian countertops that surround a range and double sink. Hanging cabinets are above the refrigerator on the opposite side of the kitchen, and there is a breakfast nook setting.

A window allows for plenty of natural light, and the kitchen has vinyl flooring. A door opens from the kitchen to basement stairwell. A side entry to the house is at the landing, and the stairs end at the basement. Glass-block windows add natural light, and there is a concrete floor and walls.

Laundry hook-ups are tucked into one corner while the mechanical systems are in another, allowing for plenty of storage or workshop space. The house has a gas, forced-air furnace, central air conditioning and an updated electrical box.
