Follow Trout Brook Road, watch for signs for Big Hill Road, Birch Hill Lane is by that sign, on the water side Out on the Mira, on warm summer nights... pack your bags and grab some groceries, this property is move in ready and available for quick closing. Perched on a hill it has a beautiful view of the river and also a 20 foot right of way for access to the Mira. Birch Hill Lane has long been a sought after area and still has many of the original cottage owners intermingled with the 'new crew'. The right of way is undeveloped as historically the owners have pitched in with a couple of the neighbors and installed and maintained a dock across the way. The 'cottage' offers 1600 sq ft of living space plus a bonus screen room that spans the front of the cottage so you can enjoy it all season long. The spacious eat-in kitchen has room for a large table and there is also a breakfast/coffee bar area that opens into the living space. The heart of this property is the living room; at 24 x 24 it offers room for everyone to gather and if it happens to be a rainy day, there is no need to worry about places to have card games, watch a movie or to relax and read a book. There are 3 bedrooms along the back, all with closets and room for 2 beds in each. The current set up has sleeping space for 6+ people. There is a 4 pce bathroom and storage to finish off the main space. The covered screen room across the front is the place where you will spend most of your time, the sunsets as shown in the pictures are spectacular, and one could easily spend a day entertaining or relaxing here. There is a fire pit area at the front of the home and a walkway down to the road. The cottage is heated with electric radiators and also had a heat pump installed last year. The chimney remains from the gravity fed oil stove and could be considered for another oil stove or perhaps a pellet stove in the future if desired. Laundry is in a closet off the primary bedroom. There is a concrete holding tank for septic and the water is a crock/cistern from the river. A shed offers seasonal storage and will remain. (id:27476)
