New Septic tank and furnace have been installed in this dialed in cottage has everything you could hope for including two acres of greenspace and a long list of updates. Sandwiched between state & private land this home enjoys miles of marsh land making it a bird/wildlife haven. Step inside to a bright kitchen with new paint, subway tile walls, Rejuvenation lighting, brand new appliances (vented hood range) and quartz countertops. Both bedrooms have nice natural light as well as updated flooring. The large flex/space room is only steps from the kitchen and could be set up as a great room with office, artist space, or living area with room for a sectional and more. A bank of shutter-style doors contains the laundry hook-up. The main bath has been completely remodeled with designer ceramic tile, beautiful quartz vanity, new lights and plumbing fixtures. The half bath is just as lovely and was totally re-done. Then there are the big items that equal piece-of-mind : a new roof + newer dual paned windows and not that old siding and paint. Besides the marsh and its seasonal beauty, visitors include a large herd of elk and migratory waterfowl. This home is located only 1 mile from the John Day boat ramp. Only minutes from the Columbia river known for its incredible salmon fishing. Call your agent and book an appointment to see this little bit of lovely. A nature lover's dream.
