About This Home

As of September 2025

Price Reduced as a foundation issue identified in one corner. Property is being offered AS IS. My Blue Heaven! A hidden gem nestled at the end of a quiet lane in sophisticated Margaretville and connected to all Village services. The charming 2 bd cottage needs your touch to bring it to life. The secluded and conveniently located oversized parcel abuts Bull Run stream yet is not in the flood zone. The property boasts a one car garage which could house a studio. The parcel is a tad more than a half acre lot nestled in a parklike setting with many perennial plantings
