Charming Country Cottage on 2.5 Level Acres. Nestled in a peaceful country setting, this charming cottage offers the perfect blend of character, comfort, and modern updates. A complete renovation in 2007 thoughtfully upgraded the home with new electrical, plumbing, drywall, insulation, windows, and a new septic system, while preserving the warmth and character that make this cottage so special. The crawlspace was insulated, and blown-in insulation was added in the attic for improved efficiency and year-round comfort. In 2026, a new 1,000-gallon water reservoir and UV water treatment system were added, providing additional peace of mind. Inside, the home feels surprisingly spacious for a cottage, with beautiful hardwood floors and original wood trim surrounding the windows and doors. The living room features a wood-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere on cool winter evenings. With two comfortable bedrooms, the home offers an ideal layout for a full-time residence, weekend retreat, or potential Airbnb/short-term rental. Enjoy the outdoors from both the welcoming front porch and the private back porch, perfect for morning coffee, evening relaxation, or simply taking in the peaceful country surroundings. The level, cleared 2.5 acres are easy to maintain and offer plenty of possibilities. There is ample room for gardens, outdoor entertaining, recreation, or simply enjoying the open space and country lifestyle. Whether you’re looking for a cozy primary residence, a mountain getaway, or an investment property with Airbnb potential, this delightful cottage offers character, functionality, and room to make it your own.
