Magical location with spacious 4-6 bedroom home. Only 3 minutes to downtown Alden and nestled in the heart of "Chain O' Lakes" country is this private, large acreage parcel. The house is full of character & charm with beautiful views out every window of wildlife, mature fruit trees, and old growth Pine, Maple & Oak trees. Interior layout is creative & aesthetically pleasing and makes clever use of every inch of space. Sunken living room showcases a stunning natural Field Stone, walk-around fireplace and sliders that lead to deck and stunning backyard. A hobbyist's dream home w/ large, heated wood shop/work room on lower level as well as large Pole Barn for tools & toys. 2 additional rooms on LL can easily be used as 5th & 6th bedrooms! A little bit of cosmetic updates would make this a real showstopper. Great bones & absolute private yet convenient location. Up-north paradise. This is the one!
