About this home
Welcome to 12 Cottage St, a grand Antique Colonial boasting over 4,500 sq. ft. of rich character and modern convenience. From the moment you step into the foyer, you are greeted by an impressive grand staircase that sets the tone for this historic property. Featuring 6 spacious bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, this expansive layout offers endless flexibility and options for living, working, and entertaining. While the home needs some love and restorative attention to bring back its original beauty, the exceptional bones and classic details provide a stellar foundation for buyers looking to build immediate sweat equity. At the heart of the home is a spacious kitchen, uniquely equipped for cooking on a grand scale with dual ovens, double cooktops, built-in microwave, dishwasher, and refrigerator. Unwind in the sun-drenched porch or step outside to the impressive outdoor deck overlooking a sprawling yard. Tons of extra space in walk up attic and basement. Rounding out this unique property is a detached 2-story barn—ideal for a workshop, studio, or extra storage—and a 2-car garage. A rare opportunity to restore a magnificent classic home with exceptional outbuilding space in a desirable local neighborhood! Showings begin Monday 11/9 and needs atleast 48 hour request.
