Updated Pemberton Heights cottage asks $935K

At 1,705 square feet, this 1939 home is perhaps a “cottage” by the standards of its tony and historic Pemberton Heights neighborhood, but it has been updated in a light-and-bright, clean vein that seems to make it expand.

This single-story, wood frame home maintains many original architectural details and features hardwood floors throughout, stainless appliances, and recent renovations to the master suite, kitchen, and backyard.

Located on a tree-lined street, the three-bedroom, two-bathroom home has a private, low-maintenance backyard with a sweet stone patio for hanging out or entertaining.
