    Welcome to 12 Cottage St, a grand Antique Colonial boasting over 4,500 sq. ft. of rich character and modern convenience. From the moment you step into the foyer, you are greeted by an impressive grand staircase that sets the tone for this historic property. Featuring 6 spacious bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, this expansive layout offers endless flexibility and options for living, working, and entertaining.

At the heart of the home is a spacious kitchen, uniquely equipped for cooking on a grand scale with dual ovens, double cooktops, built-in microwave, dishwasher, and refrigerator. Unwind in the sun-drenched porch or step outside to the impressive outdoor deck overlooking a sprawling yard. Tons of extra space in walk up attic and basement. Rounding out this unique property is a detached 2-story barn—ideal for a workshop, studio, or extra storage—and a 2-car garage. A rare opportunity to restore a magnificent classic home with exceptional outbuilding space in a desirable local neighborhood! First group showing is Sunday Nov 22 11-1
