About This Home

117 Cottage St

History meets luxury in this breathtaking 1859 Gothic Revival estate. Originally built for Benjamin Pitman, this architectural gem elegantly preserves its storied past while offering a modern evolution. The main level is a true showstopper, anchored by a grand living room with soaring floor-to-ceiling windows and a cozy gas fireplace. Nearby, the chef’s kitchen shines with sleek granite counters and a charming butler’s pantry designed for seamless entertaining. The second floor hosts four spacious bedrooms, while the third floor offers a flexible space that could serve as a private fifth bedroom suite complete with its own full bath. In the second floor primary bedroom suite, you will find a dedicated dressing room and a spa-inspired bath that feels like a daily retreat. Outside, the grounds transform into a private oasis with a stylish pergola, courtyard with mature plantings, an outdoor kitchen, and a sizable two-stall garage with paver driveway. Other updates include recent exterior painting and a high efficiency heating and central A/C heat pump system. This is a rare opportunity to own a meticulously updated piece of local architectural history.
