*CHECK OUT THE NEW VIRTUAL PHOTOS!* This adorable one-bedroom, one-bath cottage is ready to be reimagined and brought back to life as a cozy home full of character. It offers a unique opportunity for someone with vision to create a space that truly feels like their own. The home has been used commercially in recent years, so it will need some updates — including the addition of a functional kitchen — but that also means you have a blank canvas to design it exactly how you’d like. Out back, the paved parking area opens up all kinds of possibilities. Whether you’ve been dreaming of adding a detached garage, workshop, or simply a covered carport, this space gives you the flexibility to make it happen. This property could make a wonderful full time residence, a low maintenance second home, or even a part time retreat. And for those thinking a little outside the box, there may also be potential for future commercial use with the appropriate approvals. Pre-approved Buyers only please, with local financing preferred. Property is being sold “as is” and Seller will not provide occupancy. If you’re looking for something with charm, potential, and room to personalize, this one is definitely worth a closer look.
