Property Description

CUTE AS A BUTTON! Remodeled ''dollhouse-like'' country cottage on one acre near Lake Champlain in the Town of Westport, NY. 3BR, 1BA vintage home with large, sunny living room with stone fireplace and country kitchen with eat-in dining area. Primary bedroom on the first floor with adjacent full bath and laundry. Two cozy bedrooms under the eaves on the second floor off a hallway with end closet and access to back attic storage. House has had many recent upgrades, including a new 30 yr shingle roof in 2020, septic system in 2025, Pella tilt-style windows (2008), new 200 amp service & panel box (2008) and high efficiency oil-fired hot air furnace (2013). LR fireplace has a ventless propane-fired gas-log insert. House is generator ready and comes with a portable gasoline-powered generator which lives in the garage and plugs into an exterior outlet when needed. Sunny side porch facing a sloping lawn with mature trees, shrubs and perennials. Detached 2-car garage close to the house for your car, a workshop and/or storage. Unique rear cellar entry which was originally installed to accommodate an automobile! Lovely rural property with charm, character and privacy. Price reduced to $329,000. Wonderful year-round or second home. Near to Lake Champlain, hiking trails in the Champlain Valley and Adirondack High Peak and the lake-side villages of Westport and Essex, NY.
