Property Description
Beautifully Restored Colonial Home + Guest Apartment! Cogswell Cottage, an iconic New England home, dating to the days before Richmond was even a town. Built in 1762 by Henry Cogswell, one of the area's first European settlers, this finely crafted timber frame historic home has been tastefully renovated and updated by its current owners. 3700 square feet spread across two living spaces - the front historic house with stunning wide plank flooring, and a circa 2014 attached apartment in the rear. Set on 7.89 picturesque acres, a closeness to nature pervades the property, with perennial flower beds, frog pond, small stream, and woods to wander. The main house consists of three bedrooms, 2.5 updated baths, an eat-in contemporary kitchen, library, dining room, and living room.
