Sure, here's the revised text:

With a nod to its history, many original details are still intact and can be admired from the sunny living room that stretches across the width of the house. Federal moldings adorn the windows, picture molding is ready for art, and the stained-glass panes create beautiful rainbows in the room. Natural light reflects off the wooden floor, brightening the room all day long, offering views of the glistening water and the birds gliding over the lake. The cottage, built in 1860, is situated across from Lake Maria Sanchez and is a neighbor to St. Augustine's historic Gonzalez-Alvarez House; it's widely recognized as the Yellow Cottage by the locals. It has been featured in books, paintings, and films by residents and visitors. Once a part of the historic Valencia Hotel Group, the cottage has been cherished and preserved for over a century.
