Simplicity. Vintage charm. A true mountain classic. Step back in time with this classic 1940s mountain cottage, ideally located on Ransom St. in the heart of the village. Just a short stroll to Main Street, this home offers the perfect blend of walkability, character, and potential. Inside, a traditional floor plan is complemented by beautiful hardwood floors and warm, inviting living spaces. The home features two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a layout that feels both comfortable and functional. An oil furnace provides cozy, reliable heat during the cooler mountain months. Set on a generous 0.37-acre lot, the property offers ample room for expansion or outdoor enjoyment, making it an excellent opportunity to create your ideal mountain retreat. The home is being offered furnished (Drop leaf table and Welsh dresser do not convey) and sold “As Is.” Dishwasher does not work. Seller to offer $600 credit at closing for dishwasher replacement. A prior wind-driven rain event led to a preventative exterior covering over a vent pipe on the roof; however, there has been no evidence of ongoing or recent water intrusion. Quaint cottages like this—full of character and potential—rarely come to market.
