With thoughtful updates, this riverfront cottage could become the retreat you've been searching for! It's not polished and it isn't turnkey--but this home is the sort of place where effort feels worthwhile! The view from the deck is one that invites lingering and a natural spring a few doors down attracts eagles to the area. While the property was vacant, a pipe burst on or around December 15, 2025. Since this time, the plumbing issues have been addressed. Siding in 2025. Deck, furnace, A/C and water heater in 2013. Roof in 2006. Septic is original, drilled well. Kitchen counter with sink to remain. Property is located in a flood zone and is sold in as-is condition.
