The laundry closet is conveniently located in the sunroom which could make the perfect office or secondary living room/den. On the main floor, there are two large bedrooms with hardwood floors and plenty of sunlight. A fully updated bathroom boasts brand new tile and plenty of storage.

Outside the home, the over four acres of cleared land is ready for fencing, a pool, livestock, or gardens. Outbuildings include a large utility barn (potential garage or workshop) with power and two small sheds. The property line runs into Long Marsh Run creek, hours of catching tadpoles and fish or exploring the creek banks await. A few of the many recent updates to the cottage include new HardiePlank siding, new standing seam metal roof, New TimberTech decked porch, new HVAC system, newly upgraded Septic System and Drain Field, and a newly lined chimney ready for crackling fires. The main part of the house was the original stone miller's house built in the 1790's for the Taylor Castleman Mill which was fed by Long Marsh Run. This historical property was part of a 250 acre tract surveyed by George Washington in 1750. The farm and adjoining properties were used as the campground for the Union army during the winter of 1864.
