There's a storybook feel to this thoughtfully crafted cottage, where charm, comfort, and a little whimsy come together in all the right ways. Built in 2016 with a warm, welcoming feel throughout, this home offers the kind of character that feels both playful and practical. From the covered front porch to the cheerful entry with built-in bench seating, every detail feels considered and inviting. Inside, the main living space is bright and cozy, with generous windows that bring in natural light and frame peaceful views of the surrounding landscape. A propane stove adds warmth and ambiance, while the eat-in kitchen is both functional and full of charm, complete with a pantry and easy access from the entry for everyday ease. The full bath feels like something from a cottage retreat, featuring a clawfoot soaking tub alongside a separate shower for a little extra charm and comfort. The main level also includes a bedroom that could easily serve as guest space, office, or den. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms are joined by spacious landing areas that offer flexibility for reading nooks, creative corners, work-from-home space, or simply room to spread out. Built-in shelving adds both character and function. Outside, the whimsical feel continues with a level lawn edged by woods, a covered porch made for slow mornings, an outdoor BBQ kitchen for easy entertaining, and a fenced chicken coop that adds just the right touch of homestead charm. The detached two-car garage offers additional utility with partial insulation and a new roof in 2025. Recent improvements include insulation updates, new exterior wood siding in 2025, a new septic system in 2023, and a drilled well in 2023. Conveniently located with easy access to local amenities and close to the VAST trail network, this inviting property offers a comfortable blend of countryside charm and everyday practicality.
