Cornwall's Charming "Children's Cottage" offers an amazing, one of a kind, country experience. The approach to this 1920's home is up an old lane, draped under a canopy of mature native trees and surrounded with historical stone walls. There is a large open field with room to play: simple, quaint and idyllic. And as if this weren't enough to enjoy, a secondary treat awaits in the back of the house. The cottage is perched high above Birdseye Brook- a substantial waterway- that provides a soothing natural melody as it tumbles down to Cornwall Valley. There is this awesome tree house feeling sitting on the back deck amongst the woods listening to the brook. The house itself has both old world character with modern day amenities. A spacious, open-concept living room features abundant natural light, beautifully refinished wide board floors, built-ins, fireplace, a separate large dining area. The kitchen is the oldest part of the house and has a secreted loft space. The bedroom wing provides 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms. The Primary bedroom also has built-in drawers, a double closet, and an ensuite bath. Each bedroom has lovely views and gurgling brook sounds. This home is steps away from Mohawk Mountain for skiing & hiking. Set on a back road there are miles of low trafficked country roads to bike along. Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer offer so much to do. Why not immerse oneself in this country haven.
