This sweet 3-bedroom, 1-bath cottage on Water Street offers surprising space and tons of charm in a walkable village setting. With 1,100 square feet and a quarter-acre lot, the home features a large, sunny living room, compact kitchen, and a main-floor primary bedroom. Recent upgrades include updated electrical, heating, and flooring following Tropical Storm Irene-no flooding issues since. While the home could benefit from some cosmetic updates, it's full of character and well worth the effort. Tucked back with a garage and yard space in the rear, and just steps to schools, shops, dining, and Norwich University.
