About This Home

As of November 2023

Appealing year round cottage on 26 Sub-dividable acres along the Housatonic River (long road frontage). Immense charm, with floor to ceiling windows flooding the interior with light. Two bedrooms and one bath, living room, dining room and galley kitchen. Rustic stone patio off main bedroom and living room. Small detached barn for storage and a lovely fenced garden. Very private yet only minutes to town. This little house is a diamond in the rough with some TLC will become that gem!
