About This Home

As of July 2024

Perfect Ripton getaway. This cozy bungalow perched on a hillside has an open floorplan with a large living area made especially cozy by the Jotul propane stove. Two bedrooms each with en suite bath. The attached workshop once housed a pottery studio and could be used that way again. There is a Jotul woodstove in the workshop area. A 14 x 16 screened porch is a delightful living area for the warmer months.
