The tile backsplash has sandstone details. 3/4 bath has stackable laundry and access to the boiler. Outside, you'll feel like you're on the prow of a ship while gazing out to the lake from the 16x24 deck. A wide trail leads down to the lower bluff which has a wonderful spot to relax by the fire pit and enjoy the gorgeous views of the lake, the bluff, Rabbit Island and the South Entry lighthouse in the distance. You'll catch glimpses of eagles soaring by and nesting on the property. Access to the water is possible with some creativity. Sellers used a ladder. You'll enjoy a bounty of thimbleberries each summer and apples in the fall. Many gorgeous gardens include lupine, azalea, rhododendron, peonies, and so much more.
