12 chemin Frizzle offers 14,807 m² (about 3.66 acres) of private, wooded land with 130 metres of frontage, a short drive from the shops and services of Knowlton and the Brome Lake area.

The house is a 1971 single-storey home with a full lower level. Its rustic wood board siding, fieldstone chimney and white shutters give it a classic Townships cottage look, and a front deck with railing and steps welcomes you to the main entrance.

Main floor: The entrance hall opens through an arched doorway to the kitchen, which has wood cabinetry and plenty of cupboard space. The dining area sits along the front of the house, with a large window looking out over the garden. The living room is the heart of the home, with hardwood floors, a wide picture window overlooking the rear deck and the forest, and a fieldstone fireplace with a wood-burning insert. The bedrooms include closets with double doors.

Lower level: A large family room with wood panelling and exposed beams has a cast-iron wood stove set on a stone hearth in the corner, and a built-in bench nook along one wall. Two windows bring in natural light. The subfloor is already exposed, so it's ready for whatever flooring the next owners choose.

Outside: The rear deck faces the woods and is a quiet place to enjoy the seasons. The grounds have established perennials, hostas and burning bush, with mature maples that put on a spectacular show in the fall.

The home is heated by electric baseboards, with two wood-burning appliances as backup heat and for comfort. It's served by a septic system.

The house has been well loved and is now ready for updating. With solid bones, original wood details and a generous, private lot, it's a great opportunity for a first home, a four-season retreat or a renovation project in one of the most sought-after towns in the Eastern Townships.
