Charming Renovated Cottage Retreat Near Yankee Point Welcome to your personal retreat—this beautifully renovated shabby chic cottage blends timeless charm with modern comfort on a peaceful 0.78-acre lot. Believed to date back to the early 1900s, the original structure has been thoughtfully transformed into a stunning primary suite featuring cathedral ceilings, original hardwood floors, a spacious walk-in closet, and a luxurious ensuite with a double vanity and walk-in shower. Throughout the home, you'll appreciate the craftsmanship and attention to detail—from locally sourced pine butcher block countertops in the custom kitchen to stylish new finishes and updates. The cottage also includes a cozy guest bedroom, a laundry room with pantry space, and new mini-split systems for efficient heating and cooling. Step outside to a newly landscaped yard with mature trees providing natural shade, and enjoy quiet mornings or evenings on the private side deck. With updated Cistern Water system and new gravel driveway. The adjacent lot is available for purchase if you're looking for even more privacy. Conveniently located just 5 minutes from Yankee Point Marina, 10 minutes from Belle Isle State Park, and 20 minutes from Kilmarnock—with local restaurants just minutes away—this home offers both relaxation and access to all the Northern Neck has to offer. Offer is straightly being sold "as is" "where is" and has been reduced in price for some repairs that might be needed. Cash or Conventional purchase only!
