About this home

A cottage in the woods with lake frontage, too! This sweet home sits at the top of the driveway on a 3.2 acre parcel abutting conservation land and with surrounding trees for privacy and serenity. It has been a week-end getaway for the owner for almost 40 years - and has a septic system, town water and a full foundation with forced hot air heat, so it can be used year round, too. The open kit/din/living area has sliders to the spacious deck with views over the lake. It includes a bedroom and 3/4 bath on the first floor, plus another room that can be used for sleeping, and two more bedrooms upstairs. There is a woodstove in the basement for additional heating if desired. Almost 90' of beach frontage is included with this property (. 10 acres) located down the driveway and short walk up the road. If you are looking for a "cabin in the woods" that includes water frontage for lake enjoyment at an affordable price, this one checks all the boxes.
