Enjoy the serenity at the end of the lake, off the beaten path. This is one of the original Fountain family's personal summer homes sitting at the end of the peninsula. Looking for more space? This home is on 1.43 acres and may be possible to expand. Lake George is a 95 acre "windy lake" that was known for sailing regattas in the 1940's Today it has become a popular location for vacation homes. Full recreational lake and nice yard for entertaining. The lower level walkout has a finished room for entertaining and lakeside changing room. Good weekly rental history makes this an excellent investment. Use is when you have time and rent out for alternate weeks.
