Charming 2-bedroom cottage on 7 acres of woods in Putnam with AC, WiFi
Private rustic cottage on 7 acres of woods. This 2-bedroom cottage at the end of a long driveway offers privacy and tranquility. Just two miles from grocery shopping, restaurants, Dunkin, a clothing store, and highways going N and S, this retreat nevertheless feels like you're miles away from the hustle and bustle. It's nothing fancy, but it sure feels good to be here. Eight miles north to the Massachusetts border. Eight miles east to the Rhode Island border (check out the adorable town of Chepatchet!)
The largest room is the great room, great for visiting with friends and family. Fully lined with knotty pine for the complete rustic vibe. It's hard to tell from the pictures, but it's approximately 15x25'. Although the massive stone fireplace is not to be used due to fire concerns, it is a wonderful spotlight in the home. From the picture windows in the great room, depending on the season you can watch birds, enjoy the sound of rain, watch snow drifting down on the trees. I have spent many hours sitting at the dining room table, working and just looking out the window. I find it a very peaceful place, and I hope you do as well.
The bedrooms are modestly furnished but comfortable. Double beds (so if you need a queen, this house probably won't suit your needs), a dresser in each bedroom, a closet in each bedroom, night table and table lamps. Both bedrooms have three windows each to bring in maximum sunlight for the woodsy setting. The bathroom is also modest but has everything you could need to start your day: shower, tub, sink, toilet, soap, and towels. The kitchen is stocked with basic dishes and cooking accessories (pots, pans, silverware, etc.), a dishwasher, range top, oven, and refrigerator. Coffeemaker, toaster, microwave, simple wine glasses, corkscrew, are included.
The oak floor in the great room was recently redone to bring back its original beauty. Consequently, please leave your shoes by the front door. That's a house rule.
