Un Classico Cottage Sulle Mille Isole

Step back in time and experience the charm of an authentic 1800s cottage on Grenell Island, a special St. Lawrence River community where generations have gathered to enjoy the traditions and simplicity of island life. Loved and cared for over the years, being offered “as is” and presents a wonderful opportunity for its next owner to continue its story.

The cottage is rich with character, featuring beautiful fir beadboard, wainscoting, original woodwork and hardwood floors throughout. The expansive front porch with channel views is a favorite spot to be at this cottage. The main level offers a welcoming living room centered around a wood-burning fireplace, formal dining room and a flexible room that can serve as a first-floor bedroom, office or den, along with a convenient half bath. Upstairs are three bedrooms, a full bath and laundry. The home’s timeless interior opens to a large covered porch—the perfect place for morning coffee while watching an incredible sunrise or an evening gathering beneath a moonrise over the St. Lawrence Seaway. Passing ships provide an ever-changing backdrop to life along the River. At the shoreline, a large two-slip boathouse provides protected dockage along with a skiff ramp and workshop, making it ideal for embracing the boating lifestyle for which the Thousand Islands are known. Grenell Island offers something increasingly rare: a true island community. Residents enjoy their own seasonal post office, Community House with library, seasonal chapel and an approximately one-mile walking path around the island—perfect for visiting neighbors or simply enjoying the natural beauty of the River. This is more than a cottage—it is an opportunity to become part of a cherished Thousand Islands tradition and create your own memories on the St. Lawrence River. Selling furnished and turnkey.
