Just a couple of minutes from Main Street, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath cottage offers the perfect blend of quiet comfort and close-to-town convenience. Set on a half-acre with a fenced yard, this one-level home has a welcoming feel and plenty of potential for updates and personal touches.
The primary suite features vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet, a private bath, and direct access to a sweet little porch—perfect for morning coffee or quiet evenings. The kitchen has been recently refreshed and offers two pantry spaces for extra storage. A fireplace anchors the living room, adding a cozy focal point during the cooler months.
Outside, you'll find a storage shed, sunny yard space for pets or gardening, and just enough room to stretch out without being far from town. While the home could use some TLC and a few cosmetic updates, it’s easy to see the opportunity, whether as a full-time residence, seasonal escape, or investment property.
Charming, convenient, and full of possibility!
