Listing details: Set on a peaceful country road only 10 mins to Washington Depot, this unique 3 bed country cottage has been beautifully remodeled by its architect owner. Authentic masonry walls at the main level are a testament to the skills of a bygone era. The open plan kitchen/living/dining room features brick floors and a brick fireplace, whilst the wood-burning stove keeps the whole house cozy in winter. Laundry is on this level too, which is plumbed for an additional bathroom. Upstairs, the contrasting contemporary living space features another brick fireplace, built-in bookshelves, paneled walls, a double height ceiling, and two large sliders leading out to the expansive deck overlooking the garden. With refinished wood floors and central air, the rest of this level comprises 3 bedrooms, a full bathroom, and an unfinished room.

The owner has architectural renderings for remodeling this space into a primary bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. Outside, the detached 3-car garage has its own electrical sub-panel, water supply, and a large loft with lots of potential. The landscaped terraced garden was constructed with a boulder retaining wall and together with additional stone walls, the whole space comes alive at night with built-in custom lighting. The surrounding 8 acres enjoy a special agricultural use status with the town, resulting in reduced property taxes. Numerous upgrades throughout and plenty of charm. This property must be seen to be fully appreciated. Furniture available to purchase. This beautiful country cottage is on the market for $799,000 with Alan T.
