Description

A truly lovely setting in the country only 10 minutes from town. This is that little cottage offering views and tranquility. Home being sold `as is` and has had many updates including new kitchen, fresh interior paint, new heat pump, gas logs, new plumbing, water heater and water filter system, and a few windows have been replaced. A little work will make this diamond in the rough shine! Much of the property is fenced, and there is a horse barn.A truly lovely setting in the country only 10 minutes from town.
