From the Zillow listing:

 

Available for restoration, this unique stone cottage sits high on a hill surrounded by nine + acres of untamed woodlands, hosting a variety of trees and hundreds of daffodils. The first floor boasts a distinctive pine staircase balustrade and a large great room with fireplace. Upstairs two bedrooms sheathed in natural pine beaded boards with cozy dormer spaces add to its charm and potential. The house needs a new roof, all new mechanicals and replacement of the floor joists in the kitchen and bathrooms due to extensive termite and water damage. A remodeling in 2000 included a 200-amp circuit-breaker panel upgrade, quality replacement windows, new exterior doors and a 12×17 laundry addition. The house is being sold “as is” with no repairs made on the part of the estate. It truly could be a “one of a kind” showplace for a weekend home or your forever one.
