A stunning 1,200-square-foot cottage nestled on two acres of lush greenery and towering trees, offering both comfort and tranquility.
Private Entrance: The long, almost 400-foot driveway ensures complete privacy, with no visibility from the public road.
Four-Season Enjoyment: With a forced-air heat furnace and a township-maintained road, you can enjoy the house year-round in full privacy.
Wooden Deck: The spacious deck offers a perfect spot to connect with nature. You may even spot deer or turkeys strolling by as you enjoy your morning coffee.
Bedrooms: Bedroom #1 - "Classic": The largest room in the house, featuring a queen-size bed and a large walk-in closet. Three windows provide beautiful views of the surrounding woods, and blackout roller shades ensure a restful night’s sleep.
Bedroom #2 - "Woods": A cozy room with a double-size bed and small walk-in closet, located on the opposite side of the house for more privacy. This room, with one window and a blackout roller shade, offers a peaceful retreat closer to the trees.
Bedroom #3 - "Stargaze": A loft-style room with a double-size bed and two skylights, allowing you to stargaze while lying in bed. Accessed by wooden stairs and a ladder, this space is one of the most unique and fun areas of the house.

Workspace: The house is also great for remote work, with fast Wi-Fi (180 Mbps) and a dedicated workspace. Though the workspace isn't in a closed room, the large window offers a lovely view of the trees to refresh your eyes during breaks.
