A project worth doing! This classic Forest Home 2 story cottage was built in 1825, is in an Estate and is being sold in as is condition. First time on the market since 1965.

Cherry and pine floors, plaster walls, and wood burning fireplace. House is described as 2 bedroom, but on the 2nd floor there is a sleeping porch at rear and an expanded landing that is large enough for a living room or open office.
