Description
The author, Joyce Kilmer, wrote the poem, "Trees," while visiting this charming cottage built in 1902. The home remains historically significant, and was totally renovated in 2009, remaining true to its original structure, floor plan and color (pink). It features a very open floor plan for today's modern family. Located steps from the lake, you can enjoy gentle breezes from the screened-in porch while viewing the lovely landscape. The kitchen offers upper end appliances, such as an Aga stove and double drawer dishwashers. All three bedrooms and baths were renovated in 2009, with one bedroom and bath on the first floor. The bathrooms were all done by Waterworks. The generously sized living room features floor to ceiling bookshelves. The new metal roof, the security system, automatic sprinkler system, and generator were all part of the 2009 renovation. There are three fireplaces: kitchen, living room and dining room. Winner of the Vliet Distinguished Historical Home award in 2009.
