This adorable one bedroom (loft) country cabin was built in 1805 and is one of the first houses to be built near Sapsucker Woods. Enjoy the plethora of wildlife and indigenous, well-planned backyard landscaping with close proximity to municipal conveniences. There's an outbuilding that could make a terrific office or workshop. Inside on the first floor, you'll find a well laid out kitchen, bathroom with laundry, office, and a living room with beautiful hardwood floors. Upstairs, is a one bedroom loft space. The basement offers additional storage space. What a tranquil place to call home!
