* * * Back on the market at no fault of the sellers * * * Quintessential setting in the Green Valley area. Come take a look at this peaceful cottage on nearly 2.5 acres of gentle land. A small stream flows through the property and offers an opportunity to create a small pond or keep it as the tranquil stream it is. There is plenty of usable land for that mini-farm you've been desiring. A chicken coop is nearly complete and ready for use with just a touch more work. Rounding off the amazing setting of this cottage is a view of the peak of Elk Knob from the front porch. Inside the home, you'll find two bedrooms along with an updated kitchen and bathroom. The second level offers room to expand. The area is finished, heated, and cooled but has a lower ceiling height. You'll love the updates that keep with the original charm of the home. These updates, along with new flooring, fresh interior paint, an encapsulated crawl space, and a roof that is less than 10 years old, make this place ready to enjoy right away. Note: The rear bedroom has a ceiling height of less than 7 ft. This room along the second level, a combined 389 sf, make the total usable space of the home 1,139 sf.
