Whether you're looking for a peaceful lakefront retreat or a smart investment, this home delivers both. Inside, you'll find original hardwood floors, vintage wood doors, and classic beamed ceilings that radiate warmth and rustic charm. A stunning fieldstone fireplace serves as the heart of the home and is complemented by a new pellet stove (installed winter 2022) for cozy, efficient heat. Additional updates include GFI outlets throughout. The open-concept living and dining areas has expansive lake views and feature a charming gas log stove for added ambiance.
