cobbler′s cottage at 130 commercial street carries a storied past. in the 1930s the west end shoe shop offered "first class shoe repairing"; the 1940s brought a famed jewelry maker in residence; the 1950s saw the coffee pot restaurant serving until 2am; and a bookshop followed in the 1960s. today it′s a fully renovated home that keeps its character: reclaimed wood walls and ceilings, exposed beams, and a propane gas fireplace. maple floors run through the first-floor living space, where sliders open to a private, beautifully planted courtyard, completely redone with reclaimed brick patio and hardscaping. the spacious kitchen has windows on three sides, granite counters, stainless appliances, and views over commercial street. a full bath with marble tile completes the level. upstairs, two bedrooms with vaulted ceilings flank a second full bath. washer and dryer, split ac, and a sizable outdoor shower. very strong rental potential.
