View website: http://horseshoecottage.IsNowForSale.com - This adorable Craftsman cottage is better than new. The current owners have lovingly restored the home with 1925 era replica fixtures. bead-board ceilings throughout most of homes, wainscoting in several rooms, and refinished floors. The fireplaces are not operational however; the one chimney that was removed in the kitchen area is now the sidewalk and side porch leading into the kitchen. Other treasure n the home are the antique coal grate with hammered wrought iron surround found in the keeping room fireplace, antique grates used as wall hangings, and weathered tin backsplashes in the bathrooms. Classic crown moldings can also be found throughout the home. The home, barn and garage sit on 2.12 acres but you have only one neighbor in sight. The view from every window is rolling countryside, horse pastures or distant mountains. It's like having 50+ acres without the taxes and upkeep. The land is very level. As you approach the front of the home, you'll stroll by the beautiful landscaping with perennials, mountain laurel, rose bushes, black-eyed susans, and crepe myrtles - just to name a few. Once on the porch, you'll notice the swing - a perfect place to enjoy the rural surroundings. The swing is original to the home and has also been restored. The "Circa 1925" plaque hangs proudly by the door as you enter the home. The front room could have many uses - a formal living room as it was probably once used or perhaps a home office or study. The paned front door and large windows offer light to the room with bead-board ceilngs, restored heart pine floors and wainscoting add the finishing touches. The next room is a nice family room which also has large windows, wainscoting and antique mantel. The fireplace has a colored, glazed tiled hearth. Classic crown moldings are also found in this room along with the bead-board ceilings. Through the French doors, you will enter the Dining room. The Dining room showcases the "era" wallpaper border, a built-in hutch with antique glass doors. Wainscoting and bead-board ceilings are found here as well plus the addition of a Hunter ceiling fan. If you don't desire a formal dining area, this room could serve as a study or library. Next - the Kitchen. Forget 1925. This kitchen is totally modernized with stainless range/oven, microwave, refrigerator and dishwasher. The large island has a double porcelain Kohler sink and lots of counter space for food prep or entertaining. The marbled tan ganite compliments the custom cabinetry with pantry, large drawers and window seat storage. The floors are a dark over-sized tile further complimenting the neutral colors. The ceilings are a light colored, punched tin which is a beautiful addition. Adjacent to the kitchen is the keeping room or breakfast room. The original brick is exposed above the antique mantel and the coal insert. The large windows add light to the area - also with wainscotting, punched tin ceiling and tiled floors. Through the hallway - the main level bathroom has an antique soaker tub with distressed tin backsplash, new fixtures and vanity and is home to the washer and drawer. The new front-load washer and dryer is included with the home. The window has a period stain-glass and the floors are tiled. The Staircase is solid and has a double newel post at the turn. Another stained glass art piece highlights the window over the stairs and stays with the home. The antique grates hanging at the stairs also stay - adding to the charm of the home. The stairs are carpeted. The second level offer 3 bedrooms and a bath. Two of the bedrooms have refinished heart pine floors while the third bedroom has carpet. Two of the bedrooms have huge walk-in closets which are very uncommon in older homes. The third bedroom has a small closet in comparison to the other but still larger than what is customary in older homes. Outside Features of the home
