About this property

Charming 2-BRM Cottage in Tranquil Island Heights - Steps from the River

River at the end of the street! Come experience historic Island Heights the way it was. This charming restored 1880's cottage will take your breath away with its direct river views and breezes.

Nestled in the most historic part of town, this original Victorian historic camp meeting stands today as one of the only original camp meeting cottages left in Island Heights with very few architectural modifications. Walkable to river and bay beach, quiet family-friendly setting.

Restored to its former glory, this two-story, 900 square ft cottage, has new and modern upgrades, but retains all of its original charm. Including original pine floors, stained-glass windows, board and batten siding, and original staircase. Enjoy the river breezes from the the wrap-around porch, take a walk down to the promenade to watch the sailboats go by and see our famous Island Heights sunsets. Across the street, is the historic camp meeting grounds, which is now a park with a pavilion, perfect for playing a game of frisbee, a picnic or watching the sailboats go by.

THE SPACE:

The vaulted kitchen includes all stainless steel appliances: microwave, stove/oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, Keurig, tea kettle, and plenty of cooking utensils for a night in.

There are 2 bedrooms upstairs, the master bedroom includes a queen-size bed with a larger bi-fold closet and a TV.

The second bedroom features a full-size bed, dresser and a closet.

The bathroom (downstairs) features a 1940’s style bathtub/shower, with black and white retro-tile.
