The Library is a two bedroom home with a granite kitchen, and a full and a half bathroom. It features thousands of books across many genres, from poetry to fiction. So if you like the smell of an old bookstore then this is the place for you! The steps to the second floor are very steep and narrow. The cottage is within walking distance to the shops and restaurants of Central Square Keene. Great place to get away to, or work from home with our Spectrum provided fast wifi internet. The space This is a classic New England cottage that can sleep four comfortably. It does have a super steep staircase to the bedrooms, so use caution when going up and down stairs. Did I mention the cottage has over 4000 books in it? Great place to snuggle into and leave the real world behind. Books have so much soul in them. The soul of the writer, the editor, the binder and of course the readers. I have wanted to make this listing for years and now it is ready for you to enjoy as well. Guest access This house has two off street parking spaces and is within walking distance of Central Square.
