Welcome to this adorable and beautifully renovated 1940s cottage, brimming with timeless charm and modern conveniences. Step inside to discover a delightful living and kitchen area with vaulted ceilings, exuding natural light and a spacious feel thanks to the tasteful use of tongue and groove planks. The original features, such as the wormy chestnut walls, pine floors, and doors, have been lovingly preserved, creating a warm and inviting ambiance throughout. The kitchen boasts a perfect blend of old-world charm and contemporary functionality, featuring stainless appliances harmoniously paired with the original farmhouse sink. The thoughtful addition of a second bathroom ensures enhanced comfort and privacy for everyone. A hidden gem awaits in the form of a versatile bonus room adjacent to the kitchen. Whether you seek extra sleeping space, a game room, or a spot for your furry friends, this space caters to your needs. Outside, the gentle lot is adorned with apple trees and offers ample gardening space for your green thumb endeavors. Settle in on the spacious front porch and watch in awe as mama doe and her speckled baby frolic among the trees, savoring apple treats, creating a serene and picturesque scene. Perfectly situated near a tranquil lake and a convenient hiking trailhead, this cottage invites you to embrace an active outdoor lifestyle. And when you crave a dose of small-town charm, a leisurely stroll to Main Street will lead you to shopping, restaurants and summer concerts and festivals at nearby Kelsey Hutchinson Park. This charming cottage seamlessly blends the allure of the past with the comforts of the present, making it an ideal place to call home. Don't miss the opportunity to experience the enchantment of this meticulously renovated gem!
