This charming cottage surrounded by trees and gardens feels like it could be in an enchanted forest but is actually is close to everything. A newer metal roof, hardwood floors and a lovely sun porch are just a few of the great features here. It also offers the convenience of single level living in a fabulous location only steps to the bus stop so you don't even need a car (but there is plenty of parking in case you do). There are two bedrooms and an office, a large living room and an eat in kitchen. This home could be a great alternative to a condo or would make a fabulous investment as a rental.
So adorable. This 2 bedroom/1 bath cottage is surrounded by gardens, 2 water features - a lotus pond and a brook - a garden shed with personality and a lovely 3-season porch that overlooks the gardens. The yard backs up to conservation land. All the windows have been replaced; some to accommodate plants which the owner loves. The front sidewalk says you can walk to the center of town. There is a dog door and a kennel. The refrigerator is new and the stacked washer/dryer combo remain for the buyer. The owner has protected all creatures, real and otherworldly, from the world outside. You'll see when you visit!
