About This Home

County Cottage, River Access Penn district This arts & crafts rustic cottage, located in a river access neighborhood, in the desirable Penn school district, has been remodeled with modern updates. Enjoyable for making cookies, but is not for the cookie cutter -) Designer planned interiors are built throughout with a newly equipped kitchen which includes an island. Enjoy truly cooking and family engaging with this gas dual fuel range, built in stainless refrigerator, all set in fun cottage turquise-blue cabinets. Lots of storage in this efficient kitchen that opens to a cathedral ceilinged living space. Engineered walnut hardwood floors are installed throughout. One cozy quiet bedroom downstairs with its own bathroom entry tiled in contemporary porcelain. New fixtures. Along the staircase and loft railing glows stained glass Tiffany style night light post caps on a hand-crafted wood staircase with wrought iron art-deco railings. Once upstairs, enjoy the authentic, thick pine shiplapped bedroom. Notice the exterior modern slider screen door system with built-in shades in energy-efficient rated glass. It opens outside to a balcony to sit and enjoy your coffee. I used to keep it cracked open in summer evenings to hear the frogs, crickets, and night bird songs. A Jack-and-Jill style bathroom sits between another upstairs bedroom which charms in chair-rail beadboard millwork. Ceiling fans adorn both upstairs bedrooms as well as in the common areas on the main floor with remote controls. This home is not just a pretty face, it's practical and was a home to a restaurant designer that is working out on the west coast. The inner workings are maintained and proudly upgraded. Mechanicals include: a new 200amp electric box, an efficient central air and heat system, an efficient tankless hot water heater for active families, and an upgraded septic and plumbing. The back of the house sports a screened in porch, with an entry to the laundry - mudroom entry with plenty of cabinet storage and hide-away shoe rack. The river across the street has a public access a few doors down for fishing or boating or just admiring the sights. Baugo Creek park access is another 5 to 10 minute walk in this jog friendly and dog walking neighborhood with generational families of all ages. There's also a marina within a 5 minute walking distance. Shopping, pubs, and music venues in a 2 to 10 minute drive. So many beautiful views in all seasons. A short walk to even watch a river sunset. A portico style front porch detailed with an entry art deco drop chandelier, column sconces, and a post lamp in architectural glass. The surround deck off the porch leads through a charming country gate around to a side entry screened in back porch. The lot is partially privacy fenced, and has a gravel driveway with ample parking. The back yard has a separate garage build, however that is in progress and off-limits. We are pet friendly, but careful to get truly house trained pets as this is a brand new remodel. There are a few quirks to this house, like the arched hobbit door from my grandfather's craftsman friend. If you think this gem, a little in the rustic rough, might be for you, feel free to reach out. Looking for the right tenant fit that loves this area and appreciates this home as well.
