The chimney has been serviced and inspected. Newer windows and custom storms are low E and insulated. The septic system features a Chesapeake Bay friendly Bord na Mona peat filter. The quality in this home is unmatched. A full list of details and updates is included in documents. The cottage, converted from an authentic barn, was renovated with the same quality and attention to detail as the main house. It is now a charming 2 bedroom 1 ½ bath 1,514 sq ft dwelling with a south-facing wall of windows looking out on the beautiful scenery and wildlife.
