Property Description
The historic Cottongame House, built in 1894, sits on a spacious 0.60-acre corner lot in Ferris and offers timeless character, flexible living space, and income potential. The 2,215 sq ft main home features 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms with original hardwood floors, tall ceilings, and abundant natural light. A soaring vaulted living room with a warm brick fireplace anchors the space, while the loft provides additional flex space for an office, studio, or second living area. The spacious eat-in kitchen, generous utility room with sink and extra refrigerator space, and a large primary suite with sitting area, walk-in closet, and ensuite bath add everyday livability. The welcoming front porch offers the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee or unwind in the evening.
A standout feature is the 791 sq ft separate apartment (ADU)—ideal for multi-generational living, guest quarters, rental income, or a private home office with no HOA restrictions. The apartment includes a living and dining area, full kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, office, full-size utility room, two private entrances, and its own dedicated HVAC system.
The property also features an impressive 39' x 25' four-bay garage with its own ducted HVAC unit, bathroom, a 12' x 10' office, two storage rooms, and an attic lift for overhead storage. Additional highlights include two carports, seven total covered parking spaces, and a concrete pad with 220V plug for RV or boat parking.
With over 3,000 combined square feet between the main home and apartment, the Cottongame House offers a rare opportunity for flexible living and is filled with possibility. Recent foundation repairs have been completed and include a transferable warranty, adding peace of mind as it begins its next chapter. Come see the space, envision the possibilities, and imagine what's next!
