Charming country cottage in beautiful, private setting overlooking year-round stream. A former rural schoolhouse artfully turned into a thoroughly charming home. Open floor plan with old wood floors, exposed beams, and character-filled modern additions to original 1865 structure. Many recent up-grades including Buderus boiler, Rinnai heater, Goshen stone patio, modern 2nd bath, skylights, and newer roof.

Excellent local school. The ultimate stream side hide away.
