A Cute Cottage, Right in the Heart of Millbrook: $429K

  |  July 23, 2024

Real-estate agents talk about location all the time. Today’s Upstater pick is a find: a cute cottage right in the heart of Millbrook, Dutchess County.

The c.1930 cottage has three bedrooms and one bath, with classic lines and an elegant black-and-white exterior.

The interior needs some cosmetic updates, but its bones are good, as seen here in the living room.

Like the living room, the dining room has hardwood flooring and oversized windows.

Vintage hardware appears—painted and unpainted—on these doors to the basement and yard, respectively.

A cute built-in hutch keeps servingware handy in the dining room, too.

Yes, the kitchen floor needs renovation. And if the chrome-edged Formica counters are too dated, along with the cabinets, they could go, too. But we hope the new owner doesn’t just demo and ditch everything before checking if their local ReStore could use it.

The washer and dryer have their own little nook.

The stairs appear to be in good shape, but we’d replace that runner.

White walls…

…closet space…

…and hardwood flooring highlight all three upstairs bedrooms.

The bathroom has white fixtures, with white subway tiles climbing halfway up the walls.

The cottage measures just 896 square feet, and sits on a quarter-acre lot—with a detached, one-car garage, too. With some cosmetic updates, this would be an adorable home in which to live.
