Streamfront and unrestricted, this renovated Glenville cottage brings together the ease of turnkey ownership with 650 feet of private frontage on a native trout stream. Renovated in 2019, the home carries a light, modern sensibility within a rustic frame — bright interiors, an open flow from kitchen to living room, with a fireplace for cooler evenings, and an expansive screened porch that makes the stream as much a part of daily life as any room inside. No HOA, no restrictions, no neighbors — and a successful vacation rental history for those who want the property to work when they're not there. Everything inside and out conveys with the sale. A short drive reaches the Village of Cashiers and Lake Glenville. Properties with this combination of waterfrontage, privacy, and zero encumbrance rarely come available on the Plateau.
