LINCOLNVILLE COTTAGE

Tucked away on a tree-lined street towards the south end of Lincolnville, this concrete block cottage is all about maximum enjoyment and minimum maintenance. Front yard enjoys the most sun so this is where your container garden will grow flowers, herbs and maybe some veggies. Clad in khaki with crisp black trim, the house is complemented by the surrounding greenscape. Step inside and prepare to be delighted because the interior offers a surprisingly modern floor plan with great style.

Measuring 29′ x 14′ the living/dining room with vaulted ceiling, honey-hued wood floors and custom woodwork is a versatile space. Long expanses of wall for displaying art and furniture placement also allows for several seating areas. An abundance of windows brings in diffused sunshine to light the room. The kitchen is adjacent to the main gathering room. Simple in style, it can easily be reconfigured if you need more storage and there’s ample room to relocate the stack washer/dryer and house it in a tall cabinet.

Bedrooms run along the south side with the largest one in front. A very short hall off the dining area leads to the other two bedrooms and shared bath. Center bedroom has a big closet behind the French doors and is presently used as the master. A renovated bathroom has tub/shower for long soaks and quick scrubs depending on your schedule. 3rd bedroom overlooks the backyard and is an office/laundry room at the moment. 2nd bathroom is off the kitchen so it’s handy if you’re entertaining indoors or out.

Pine bark carpets the back yard and wraps around to the carport which doubles as a patio under roof. Small shed keeps gardening tools, bikes and boards dry and out of the way. Living larger than it looks from outside the picket fence, the Oneida Cottage is a great full-time residence, easy weekend home and highly desirable vacation rental to defray your expenses. Within easy walking distance to restaurants, shops, landmarks, lake, community pool and park – check it out.
