About this home

BUYER UNABLE TO GET FINANCING - Once in a lifetime opportunity to own a completely renovated and furnished, THREE SEASON waterfront home on the Ashby Reservoir! Gutted and remodeled in 2018 by a local builder, this cottage offers four bright, comfortable rooms all with Harvey vinyl windows and woodland or water views. All systems have been replaced or improved - plumbing, well pump, septic and new heating system. The enviable kitchen has stainless range and hood, granite topped counters and crisp, clean subway tile backsplash. The family room offers access to the deck, perfect for summer cookouts and relaxing to the soothing sound of the brook flowing along the property. A short path brings you to a cove where you can swim, fish, launch a sailboat, paddle board or kayak and explore the reservoir. All furniture, linens, rugs, appliances, pots/pans, utensils, grill, deck furniture, etc. are included, making this property the definition of turnkey!
