Truly Mid-Century, first constructed in 1950, then lovingly maintained, this home has served as the family retreat for decades. Gathering Room offers vaulted ceiling and A-frame windows inviting the lush forest in. Warmed by an nostalgic Franklin Stove, supplemented by propane heat, this room is the heart of treasured memories. A good sized Master Bedroom, then the Bunk Room offers peaceful slumber. But, it's the Kitchen where the holiday turkeys were roasted, cakes baked and flapjacks flipped on the antique Atlantic Queen wood cook stove assisted by the more modern day electric range. The small detached Garage is handy for Winter. Situated on over half an acre, meandering pathways wander through fern beds and native flora beneath towering cedars and pines. Retreat to simple, lives of days gone by.
