This charming country cottage is perfect for first-time buyers seeking peace, space, and flexibility. Situated on a 0.69-acre unrestricted lot, this property offers plenty of room for outdoor activities—whether you want to start a garden, raise chickens, or simply enjoy the open space for pets and play. Conveniently located just minutes from I-81 and Route 11, you'll enjoy both rural tranquility and easy access to local amenities. The home features 1 to possibly 2 bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a well-equipped kitchen that opens to a cozy family room. The enclosed front and rear porches offer additional space that could be used as a home office, playroom or storage area.. Outside, you'll find a storage shed for tools and equipment, and an unfinished basement with exterior access for even more storage. The lot is mostly flat and cleared, making it easy to fully enjoy your land. Recent updates include a metal roof and central heating and cooling system—both less than 3 years old, per the owner. Whether you're looking for a quiet retreat or a place to build your homestead dreams, this rustic charmer has everything you need to get started.
