A Cute, Cozy Cornwallville Cottage for $247K

  |  December 21, 2023

This home in Cornwallville, in the Greene County town of Durham, was the first schoolhouse when it was built in 1785.

It’s been renovated into a petite cottage, with two bedrooms and one bath within just 1,000 square feet. The moss-green siding and yellow door are inviting, and the split-rail fence adds character to the property.

The floors look like they’re a newer hardwood. The live-edge wood trim around the front door and windows is interesting.

That trim continues around the rest of the windows in the open-flow living and dining areas.

A bay window in the dining area adds space and light.

The kitchen isn’t huge, but it’s cute and functional. A square-edged stainless-steel sink is embedded in a butcher-block countertop.

The gas range is stainless steel, too. Nickel-toned hardware complements white cabinets.

The living room has another bay window, next to a stone corner platform supporting a wood-burning stove.

Stairs curve around from the living room.

One bedroom is big enough for a small sofa in addition to the bed.

Its ceiling matches the pitched roofline, ending in a low nook that’s perfect for a bed.

The second bedroom is similar to the first, with the same hardwood flooring and white walls.

The bathroom has a modern tiled floor and sage-green walls, with a walnut-toned vanity and modern circular mirror.

The chicken coop can be seen in the background of this photo of the back of the house.

The property totals a half-acre, including plenty of room for a garden and a nice firepit.
