Set on a beautifully maintained . 22-acre lot along a county-maintained street with easy winter access, this storybook cabin makes an impression before you even reach the front door. A steep gabled roofline and cedar shake siding rise above stone wainscoting along the base, framed by a beautifully landscaped front yard. Step inside to a charming, vintage-feeling mudroom that opens straight into a warm living room, dining area, and kitchen, full of original character: open beam ceilings, heavy wood doors, and original cabinetry the current owners have lovingly preserved and meticulously maintained. The kitchen is fully equipped with newer appliances, and a full bath and laundry closet complete the main level. To the right, a few steps down, a generously sized primary bedroom offers its own loft space, while original stairs at the center of the home lead up to a second bedroom with its own adjacent office. Beneath that character, the systems have been thoroughly modernized: over $60,000 in updates completed in 2017, including new insulation, drywall, and double-pane windows throughout, a heavy-duty propane line run fresh from tank to house, and a rebuilt bathroom with a custom tiled shower. Electrical was upgraded with a generator receptacle at the panel. Out back, a magical, fully fenced yard centers on a custom deck and private spa, with a greenhouse and two storage sheds tucked in alongside a dedicated firewood shed. A large carport with boat parking sits to the left of the house, while dedicated RV parking is found on the right. A rare combination of preserved character and modern reliability, ready for its next owner.
