A rare offering on the Twin Lakes in Salisbury. This is one of the last original cottages with 105 feet of excellent direct water front on Twin Lakes. This substantial size cottage has over 2,000 square feet of living space with 4 bedrooms and 1 1/2 baths. The spacious living room features a large stone fireplace, hardwood floors thru out and a generous covered porch with fascinating views of the lake. The sandy lake bottom near the L shaped dock makes for a great and secure swimming area. The NW views are perfect for sunsets. This is a great opportunity to relax and enjoy summers and the stunning fall foliage on the Twin Lakes.
