Single Family Home for sale in Cornwall, CT

for $475,000 with 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath. This 1,038 square foot home was built in 1940 on a lot size of 29.88.

Meet Estella. A riverside retreat spanning 29 acres on rural, scenic River Road. Arrive at this historic cottage and you are immediately greeted by the rushing sounds of the Housatonic River just across the way. The landscape, which possibly offers the potential for subdivision, provides endless opportunities to imagine building a new dream home tucked into the quiet countryside. Because the property borders the Housatonic River, you have the rare, coveted ability to pop out your front door and spend the afternoon fly fishing. The cottage itself, originally built in 1940 as a local schoolhouse, is brimming with quintessential New England charm. Upon entering, the dining room pulls you in; framed by large windows, natural light floods into every corner, highlighting the classic wood floors that stretch across the space. The kitchen, rustic and simple in its own right, provides a modest space for meal preparation alongside a convenient pantry. Step down into the inviting living room, anchored by a large wood-burning fireplace and windows on two sides that invite the outdoors in. The first bedroom is located just off the living area. A full bathroom connects the space to the second bedroom, which features a large, three-pane window overlooking the natural terrain. Spend your time here exploring your own expansive acreage, cycling the miles of scenic dirt roads along River Road, or casting a line into the Housatonic. It is a true place of solitude and reflection. Please note: This home unfortunately had a pipe freeze over the winter; in it's current condition heat can not be used. The property is an estate sale and is being sold strictly "As Is." Buyers to perform their own due diligence.
