This exceptional brick cottage - often called The Hobbit House - overlooks Half Moon Cove on Lake Quinsigamond. It's perfect for a single professional or graduate student. The cottage is part of a charming compound of four units (including a two-family and a second, smaller cottage) built into the hillside on the lake. The interior was renovated a few years ago. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxed. The owner lives on the property. It's close to Route 20, UMass, Grafton MBTA commuter rail, Mass Pike, and downtown Worcester. Amenities include a patio, one parking space, a small basement, and other storage space, as well as access to the backyard, waterfront, a dock for swimming, canoes and kayaks available for use, and a boat slip. Utilities (i.e., heat, water, electricity, internet, cable TV, etc.) are not included. Shared laundry on site. Please call John between 9 am and 9 pm to schedule an appointment. Single occupancy only. One parking space. First and last month's rent necessary for move in. 12-month lease only. No smokers. Renter pays all utilities (i.e., heat, water, electricity, internet, cable TV). Cottage has separate meters.
