Freshly painted single-bedroom, 640 sq ft single-family cottage on a quiet, scenic 1.5-acre lot, perfect for a single person or a couple. Located just 2.5 miles from downtown Brattleboro, this charming cottage offers a peaceful retreat while maintaining convenient access to town amenities. Featuring beautiful wood beams and vaulted ceilings throughout, the home has a cozy yet open atmosphere. The kitchen includes a gas stove, and there is an in-unit washer and dryer for added convenience. The cottage is modern, well-maintained, and energy-efficient, with propane-powered radiant floor heating and highly insulated structural foam panel construction, providing comfort year-round.
The cottage has its own private driveway and separate address, ensuring privacy and convenience. It is powered by solar energy through the owner's home, with both the cottage and the main house equipped with solar systems. Electricity to the cottage is metered separately and billed monthly at half the current rate from Green Mountain Power. This billing structure is designed to offer flexibility, allowing tenants to utilize electric space heaters, if desired, to help offset propane heating costs. Charges are billed directly by the owner each month. Propane is tenant-paid, providing further control over overall utility expenses.
The property enjoys abundant natural light throughout the day and offers a spacious outdoor area, complete with a peaceful creek at the bottom of the hill. While the lot is shared with the landowner, the cottage maintains its own private space. A privacy fence is planned to be installed in the spring once the ground thaws, providing added seclusion.
Additional features include:
- Modern and efficient propane hot water radiant floor heating system
- Energy-efficient solar power for both the owner's house and the cottage
- Private outdoor space with a grilling area
- Quiet, rural setting with beautiful scenery, only minutes from downtown Brattleboro
