This cozy 1-bedroom cottage sits behind the main house and is thus sequestered from traffic. The cottage was built around the turn of the last century and has updated features.

Large living room and bedroom have hardwood floors. Bath and kitchen are faux-wood flooring. No carpet. Cottage has gas heat and gas stove. Washer and dryer are also in the unit.
