About This Home

As of November 2021

Snow White and the7 Dwarfs could live happily in this adorable Arcadian Cottage in the woods just off Highway 197 within walking distance of Lake Burton. With two bedrooms and two baths upstairs and another bedroom and bath on the terrace level, there is room for all! Dappled sunlight filters through the hardwoods surrounding the cottage and floods through the two story windows where Snow White could easily stretch out for a nap on the wide window seat. ‘ Sleepy’ could be stirring up a potion in the cute kitchen with the red island while the rest of the folks play happily on the oversized deck. The intimate screened porch offers a welcome respite where a glass of wine and a plate of cheese and crackers would be just fine. ( But don’t touch the apples! ) . Real hardwood floors, very nice furnishings and clean and neat as can be! This is a house that warms the heart and calls you home. The long drive makes the house invisible from the road ( though there might be some magic involved there, too). The wooded 2 acres has some level spots where a tiny house might one day sit or a shelter could be constructed for a camper. No restrictions so you can do what you wish – even add a master on the main level at some point! I have been told the lake can be viewed once the leaves fall. Some selective trimming might make that an all year view. No promises, but we’ll wish on a star! Call me and let’s go see this right now!
