Welcome to your dream cottage retreat! This wonderful and unique property features not just one but two charming cottages nestled in a picturesque setting. With many recent updates, from cosmetics to systems (including an energy audit and added insulation at the main cottage), you get modern comfort while maintaining rustic charm. The main cottage (462sq’) is all on one level, bright and inviting with its vaulted ceiling, stone fireplace, and remodeled bath and kitchen with vintage-style appliances. The second cottage (320sq’) is currently a 3-season dwelling with the potential to make it year-round. The interior is finished in a Scandinavian style, with pine paneling and its wonderful scent, lots of light and a cozy ambiance. On the main level is an open layout with the makings of a kitchen nook, and a full bath with laundry hookup. A spiral staircase leads to a loft with two additional rooms; perfect for overnight guests or a designated home office space. Or, have you always dreamed of having your own private studio for pottery, painting, music or other exciting ventures? Maybe this is the perfect fit! Also, with owner occupancy in the main cottage, recent zoning changes even leave a potential for short-term rental (think Airbnb income)! The serene yard has beautiful stone walls and plenty of space for summertime fun, with a large pond complete with a soothing fountain. It’s a backyard birder’s dream. Don’t miss this opportunity to own a slice of paradise!
