About This Home
As of May 2021Take a step back in time at the Rose Cottage. This beautifully restored and well cared for historic island home is located in a quiet neighborhood, walking distance to town, Carvers Harbor and nature preserves. Built by the Bodwell Granite Company in 1877, this classic home has been restored and updated with close attention to vintage. Much of the hardware, chandeliers, and decorations are victorian in style and age appropriate to the house. Original wood flooring, high ceilings, and large windows create a warm and inviting environment. Many upgrades have been completed over the years including new windows, insulation in the attic, plumbing and electrical updates.
The first floor features a large dining room, living room, first floor bedroom, kitchen with original bead-board cabinets/accents, an unfinished bathroom and access to attached shed. Upstairs there are two bedrooms and a bathroom with a tub/shower. Attached to the main house is an in-law apartment with a large bedroom/sitting area., kitchenette, and bathroom with a vintage claw foot tub. The current homeowner has lived in the home year-round and has earned an extra income by renting out the attached in-law apartment. This home could easily be used as a single family residence or a multi-family. The Rose Cottage offers a wonderful opportunity to someone who is looking to enjoy the island lifestyle in a beautiful historic home.
List of updates, current projects and plans for future projects can be provided upon request.
