Step through the door of this classic 1910 Craftsman bungalow and find yourself in a bright, cheery sun porch completely surrounded by windows. The next door leads to a spacious living area as wide as the house and 13 feet deep. On one end is a wood-burning fireplace equipped with heat-a-lator and glass doors, flanked by built-in bookshelves. The other end is another wall of windows.

The dining room also has large windows with a built-in china cabinet, just like many people remember seeing at Grandma’s house.

The modem kitchen is one of the finest features of the house. Totally remodeled in 1994, it contains state-of-the-art dishwasher, gas range, convection/microwave oven and spacious refrigerator with ice maker. The cabinet work makes cooking a joy with lots of cabinets and counter tops, vinyl -clad doors and space saving features. The kitchen also features a large step-in pantry and breakfast nook overlooking the Necanicum River.

There are two bedrooms and a full bath on the ground floor of the house, making it a livable unit on its own. However, there is much more room upstairs, including two spacious bedrooms and two more full baths. In addition, there is a cozy sitting room overlooking the river and a bonus room with attic ceiling that could find a variety of uses.

Another bonus in this classic house is its full basement. There are two finished rooms that could be used for a variety of purposes, a large laundry area and a shop where a man can tinker. In addition, the basement has an abundance of shelves and storage space.

The forced-air gas furnace and 50 gal. gas water heater, installed in 1994, are also located in the basement. In addition there is a 50 gal. electric water heater.

The landscaping of the 100’ by 100’ lot shows tender loving care. In includes a variety of attractive features and, in the summer, invites passersby to stop to enjoy it.

A new roof and vinyl double-paned windows keep this 2226 sq. ft. house warm and dry year round. A two-car detached garage is also included.

This house is available for the unbelievable price of only $199,500. The cozy 710 sq. ft. cottage sits within 15 feet of the bank of the Necanicum River, though high enough to be safe from high tides and high water. Watching the river and its abundance of wild birds makes living in the cottage a joy. It is quiet and relaxing. A large living room stretches across the river front with large picture
windows bringing the view indoors. The room has a lofted ceiling and corner fireplace (gas) for extra atmosphere.

The fully equipped kitchen and dining room are perfect for a small family or light entertaining. The full bath and comfortable bedroom are also on this floor.

The cottage also has a full, finished daylight basement. It is one room with laundry facilities at one end and built-in cabinets at the other. The full gas furnace and electric water heater are also downstairs.

A large cedar deck surrounds the cottage on two sides and provides another spectacular view of the river. The riverbank is gradual enough to offer easy access with a canoe or kayak.
