Just 15 minutes from downtown. 4 bedroom, 2 bath (second bath is a rough-in) home with metal roof and a gorgeous 20 acre setting with lake view, pond and mature trees including large mature cedars and white pines. 2 car garage. Plus, large 40x60 garage with front and rear doors, full power and concrete slab. Home is currently gutted; sheetrock is up and needs paint, subfloor is exposed with no floor coverings, which makes it great for you to pick your flooring and paint. Electrical and some plumbing are updated. There is a nicely tiled walk-in shower in bathroom finished as well as the kitchen very tastefully started. Home features an open layout and is wired for audio throughout main level. Recessed lighting is also in place in the main level kitchen, dining area and living room. Property features trails throughout and a private pond. An additional building site with a lake view is also available beyond pond. Septic compliant. Only 2 miles to McQuade Harbor. Only 4 miles to Superior Street! Great location with privacy! Call me about finance options, which include the materials to complete within your mortgage.
