About this home

Absolutely charming 3-bedroom cottage, a timeless gem from 1930, boasts a delightful covered front porch, a spacious family rm & a generously sized eat-in kitchen w/ an abundance of cabinets & ample counter space, complete w/ a walk-in pantry. The primary bdrm offers a touch of luxury with its 15 x 6 walk-in closet, while 2 other bdrms await your personal touch (please note, one bdrm currently lacks a closet, but it can easily be added). A full bathroom & a well-placed laundry rm round out the interior. For those who relish nature & the serenity of water, this location is a dream come true. Situated a mere 1/10 of a mile from the picturesque Lake Chesdin & less than 600 feet from a nearby marina equipped w/ 2 public boat ramps & a charming lakeside restaurant, water enthusiasts will find their haven here. Additionally, the John J. Radcliffe Appomattox River Conservation Park, sprawling over 97 acres of woodlands & pristine swamp land along the Appomattox River, beckons just 1.5 miles away. Here, you'll discover a canoe & kayak launch area, inviting exploration by water enthusiasts. With Lake Chesdin, the Appomattox River & public park minutes away, you can embrace the great outdoors!
