Your home search has lead you to an opportunity to buy into a LIFESTYLE. Your neighborhood is your playground with this unique Post and Beam Saltbox Colonial. There is much to be said about the location being around the corner from Wells State Park and with Walker Pond being steps away from your backyard. First we need to pay respect to the home itself. The natural wood tones throughout the home, wide pine flooring, and water views give off vacation vibes. ALL THREE of the 2nd floor bedrooms have cathedral ceilings. In fact, one of the bedrooms even has its own LOFT. There is healthy mix of open concept and separation (so you get the best of both worlds). The kitchen has modern touches while matching the rustic tone that carries throughout the home. Enjoy Walker Pond neighborhood amenities, DEEDED beach rights to Walker Pond, nature trails, tennis court, 2 beaches, 2 playgrounds, ball fields, boat docks & volleyball court. Shopping, restaurants, highway access, schools, boxes checked!
