It’s for real!

After 36 years, our beautiful Rose Cottage will be going on the market October 1, 2024.

The Rose Cottage as she was referred to in the 19th century is an updated colonial farmhouse on ~ 1.7 acres. Some features include; 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths including a fieldstone “grotto” shower en suite to the 1st floor guest room, a small library off the Living room as you make your way to an 820sqft Master suit including a lava stone slipper tub and a 2 person white marble steam shower. Off the master bedroom is a private 800sqft bluestone patio with a fireplace and hot tub. There’s 1600sqft of temperature and humidity controlled storage, 600sqft outside shed space, lots of windows to enjoy the grounds and wildlife, bright with lots of natural light,new roof, new whole house generator and water filtration system, gas stove and high efficiency boiler (4 years new), +++
Selling price will probably be around $700,000.

After 36 beautiful years of wildlife, fantastic parties, additions and upgrades, Mary Jo and I are fulfilling a dream by moving to the beautiful people and weather of Southwest Florida. The Rose Cottage has always been a welcoming home ith a great spirit and good chi. I’m sure her great chi will attract a good family to carry her for the next few decades!

I’ll be posting some of my best shots of renovations and times over the decades.

If anyone knows someone who may be looking for a very unique antique home, encourage them to reach out now and strike the best deal.
I’ll tell them what my research has found by investigating the life of the builder Benoni Bailey circa 1743!
