This lovely cottage will capture your heart. It is the most adorable home in the quaintest of settings. The beautiful location is over half an acre adjacent to the Nippersink Creek with shade and sun playing on the expansive lawn. Many important components need to be repaired, completely replaced or reworked. This will be a most charming project, but it is a big project with a satisfying end as your reward. It has been a one family home since 1926 with few updates. Beautiful tongue and groove knotty pine walls. The fireplace is separating from the wall and should be removed. It could be replaced with another fireplace or a picture window. Family members were given an initial bid of $22,000 to reinsulate the Living Room, repair the roof and removed the fireplace to put a picture window in its place. The fireplace was hand built and has damaged the roof and ceiling as it pulled away from the wall over time. There are many wonderful ways to renew this sweet, small home and keep the simple charm it offers. Come and use your imagination to restore its usefulness and enjoy this tranquil, unique spot.
