SO MUCH POTENTIAL in this roomy cape cod -bigger than it looks. 4 bedrooms and 2 fireplaces, this home is across from Pistakee Lake (just steps away actually) where you can enjoy wonderful views from the living room. The home sits at the end of a quiet street that has a park at waters edge just for street owners to enjoy with pier & slip privileges. Voluntary homeowners association maintains the park and boat slips. Perfect for a get-away residence for those who want their boat parked directly across the street. Home does need some updating, but the payoff could be tremendous. Wood floors under carpet. And lots of closets and nooks and crannies providing lots of storage. Sunset views to die for. In town location close to train, shops, restaurants & more. A hidden gem.
