As a Northern retreat or comfy year-round residence, this 2 bedroom cottage just off the east side of Lime Lake could be your haven. The cottage has classic features like knotty pine paneling and a Dutch door, as well as some thoughtful updates like the tiled bath. Outside, there is a generous lawn and fire pit for family gatherings, all surrounded my mature hardwood forest with a small creek flowing through the northern part of the parcel. Launch your kayak or take a swim at the shared easement access on Lime Lake just a short walk away, and store all the toys in the 2 car garage and garden sheds on the property.
