About This Home
Price reduction on this one. Cute, Cute, Cute! Have you been looking for that perfect get-a-way place, or maybe you are just starting out or slowing down-this is a must-see property, pictures do not do it justice. 2 bedrooms, 1 bath with a bonus room, once used as a 3rd bedroom. Sellers have lovingly brought the interior of this cottage back to life. A mini split will add to the ease of heating and cooling. If you want to take it up a notch, the kitchen has a lovely pot belly wood stove. The kitchen has undergone a face lift, with new paint on the existing cabinets, and the addition of more cabinets, new countertops, and hardware. Original hardwood floors in the bedrooms, and kitchen. New carpet in the living room to keep your feet warm in the winter. The bathroom has the original cast iron tub, but they have added a very cool sink and cabinet that lends to the feel of the bathroom. Updated light fixtures were also carefully chosen to compliment the rooms. So much of this charming cottage takes you back in time, with the addition of modern comforts. Outside you will find additional living area with the wrap around porch, most of which is covered. A porch swing and ceiling fan greets you as you walk up the front steps. It calls you to sit awhile, sip your sweet tea and take in the quietness and beauty of your surroundings. Storage won't be a problem either with a shed and additional outbuildings. The original spring house is still there, but a new well was drilled in 2022. There is a meandering creek at the back of the property, and a fire pit for roasting marshmallows.
