Beautiful Cumberland Cottage is waiting for you to take it over as your Rugby retreat. Enjoy the tranquillity of rustic living with all the amenities of the modern world. Watch hummingbirds feed by the front porch, listen for turkey calls, or spot the occasional deer as you wander the numerous trails in the Historic Rugby area. Enjoy the social life of a community of semi-retired professors, medical and financial professionals, forestry experts, etc. Cumberland Cottage is a place you can call home on either a full-time or part-time basis as befits your lifestyle.
Completed in 2001 by Wright Construction, and in virtually new condition, Cumberland Cottage is approximately 1,660 sq. ft. It’s open interior layout makes it seem much larger inside. Enter the front foyer and choose between entrances to the main floor or the winding staircase to the upstairs. The main floor consists of a spacious living and dining area with kitchen and attached pantry/utility room. The master bedroom and bath are adjacent on the main floor. A front porch and screened side porch complete the easy living layout on this level.
From the foyer, you can ascend the winding staircase to the upstairs and discover a full efficiency apartment. Perfect for guests, rental, or the proverbial mother-in-law. The upstairs includes a sizeable bedroom with full bath, a living area, kitchen with eat-at bar, and large storage area. The kitchen and living area upstairs are built and plumbed to be converted into a third bedroom if desired. All areas are tastefully decorated in neutral natural colors. Wood, carpet, and vinyl flooring make care a breeze.
The rear basement has a 20 x 23 ft. garage and work area with room for storage. Construction details include the use of HardiPlank®-type siding, dimensional shingles, full insulation, and a monitored security system for peace of mind when you are away. A heat pump system warms and cools the upstairs, while a hybrid heat pump / gas furnace system handles the downstairs. A wood burning fireplace on the first floor adds ambiance and added warmth for cozy winter evenings. A large 50 gal. hot water tank is in the garage area. City water, gas, and electric are all provided and phone and cable are wired throughout the house. The septic system is built to handle 3 bedrooms.
The lot itself is 1.9 acres and a portion of the rear adjoins the Big South Fork National Park while the other area to the rear is protected by Historic Rugby ownership. Relax in Rugby. Choose Cumberland Cottage as an investment in your future.
