New price and ready to sell...this Cottage has River views plus low taxes and 2.1 acres! This cute Shelton Cottage has an open floor plan and vaulted ceilings (this house "lives" larger than it is). Roomy Kitchen, breakfast bar and overall nice layout with bedrooms on opposite sides of the house. Bank of windows in front allows for pretty view of trees/river. Sliders from the Living room lead to a deck with hot tub. Small sunny patio at rear entry is a great spot for dining out. Very nice and private setting high above River Road. And if you prefer to build new you have at least 2 good siting options. Dry basement with washer/dryer. Driveway is a bit steep. An old pole barn sits at top of the property through the trees and shed near parking area included. Parking for multiple cars at top of the drive. Cash, Conventional or FHA 203K financing.
