Three distinct homes. Three addresses. One extraordinary opportunity. Welcome to the Bonar Cottages at Poet’s Corner, where three meticulously renovated, single level, 1940’s cottages, affectionately named the Lyric, the Ballad and the Haiku, share one incredible property. Each has its own front door, address and parking, and each earned a 10 out of 10 Home Energy Score! The front 2 cottages, the “Lyric” and the “Ballad” have 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, the 3rd, the “Haiku”, is a 1 bedroom 1 bathroom, all 3 have relaxing, fully fenced in, private outdoor spaces. Refinished hardwood floors and black Andersen windows tie the homes together, while the kitchens and baths give each cottage its own personality. There’s white oak cabinetry and aqua zellige tile in the “Lyric”, a sculptured plaster hood, quartz countertops and backsplash in the “Ballad”, and butcher-block counters and a champagne bronze bridge faucet in the “Haiku”. The spacious bathrooms have just as much character, from a checkerboard floor to terrazzo tiles and fluted oak vanities. Each cottage has ductless heating and cooling, a tankless water heater, laundry hookups, separately metered utilities including water, upgraded electrical, and their own EV charger. Individual storage closets and a bike rack keep everyday gear close at hand and the two-car carport doubles as a covered outdoor lounge space for gathering on quiet evenings. At twilight, the cottage windows glow, the landscape lights come on, and the courtyard fountain sets the mood at the “Haiku”, settle into the built-in redwood bench beneath the mature plum tree at the “Lyric” or let dinner time linger beneath the café lights on the patio of the “Ballad”. Why choose one amazing home when you can have THREE?
