This one of a kind, historic Craftsman-style cottage sits above a secluded bend in the Ripple River amidst a landscaped lawn of perennial flowers and shrubs. Built in 1927, the 1090 sq. ft. cottage, with a finished attic and basement, contains two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, dining room, sun room, kitchen, and a family room overlooking the river. The finished attic can serve as a separate sleeping area and the basement is complete with a cedar-lined bathroom containing a shower and sauna. The cottage is comfortably modern, yet retains its historic charm. Several rooms feature the original hardwood floors, doors, and light fixtures, and the living room has the original brick fireplace. The house was recently repainted and sports a newly rebuilt 30 ft x 14 ft deck overlooking the river, along with a screened gazebo nestled in the back garden. The home is located within easy walking distance of downtown Aitkin.
