That is precious! I love that people over the decades chose to keep the little house in shape instead of letting it go to old age. This house has good bones, and I applaud those who have preserved it’s charm and usefulness.
Marsha, your enthusiasm for the preservation of this historic tiny house is truly heartwarming! It’s indeed remarkable how the house has been lovingly maintained over the years, keeping its charm and utility intact. I definitely wouldn’t mind living in it myself!
For me, what takes this incredibly charming cottage over the top is the unique, festive, and colorful style of decorating. I absolutely love it ALL! Would not change a thing, inside or out!
Debbie, it’s wonderful to hear how much you adore the unique and colorful style of this charming cottage! The festive decor really does add a special touch, doesn’t it? It’s great that the interior and exterior aesthetics resonate so strongly with you. This kind of enthusiasm for the house’s current state is a lovely compliment to those who have decorated and maintained it. It seems like this tiny house isn’t just a piece of history, but also a source of inspiration for anyone who loves a vibrant and joyful living space. Thanks for sharing!
This looks way more livable than many tiny houses. Decent living room and bedroom, both of which are often lacking in modern tiny homes. I’d prefer no open shelves for kitchen things, but that is minor.
It’s great to hear your perspective on the livability of this historic tiny house compared to many modern tiny homes! Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
A great floorplan that would be easy to replicate. I would remove the dishwasher since I don’t need one and install a banquette under the window instead of the two chairs.
Hi Mike! It’s great to hear that you find the layout replicable. Your idea to customize the kitchen for your own needs sounds like a more efficient use of the kitchen. Personalizing a home to fit individual needs and preferences is what makes the tiny house movement so appealing. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and ideas on how to adapt this charming space to better suit your lifestyle!
I’m in love. Would live here in a heartbeat. So bright and cheery.
Linda, it’s delightful to hear about your instant love for this tiny house! I feel the same way about it!
Very cute!! Love all the outdoor amenities too!!
I wonder what the property taxes are for this home per year?
Tax details are included in the listing…
What an adorable home! Now if I could just have it moved to Vancouver Island, B.C., Canada.
The house is in Texas and its full of Texans and rattle snakes, so it would have to at least be in the State of Washington.
Can’t believe the price on the home! Talk about affordable. I gather that includes the land? Even the rugs are similar to vintage rugs I own.
The size is perfect for one retiree or a couple. Has a washer/dryer, dishwasher–a room for everything. Its gorgeous and who ever maintained it this well over the years, thank you. Its nice that old houses remain standing, looking loved, and being used. The yard looks like a place where you could live and enjoy afternoon tea and watch your small dog run through the yard.
Living in an expensive part of Canada, in comparison: a parking spot in a new condo building costs $125,000.
I’ll have to save this so I can look at it from time to time.
The little house, at 645 sq. ft. would be so easy to clean.
thank you so much for including this adorable home! Made my day
