Highest and Best Offers due by Thursday, Oct. 16th at 5pm. Tucked among the trees with beautiful filtered lake views, this 1152sf seasonal home offers character and style! The dramatic vaulted Great Room with handsome pine-paneled ceilings, exposed beams, custom built-in shelving, and unique architectural elements create a very stylish contemporary-rustic atmosphere. The bank of new Thermopane windows and the new sliding door to the deck fill the interior with soft natural light and frame the tranquil woodland and lake views beyond. The open design flows easily between the Great Room, the dining area and country kitchen—complete with newer penny-tiled backsplash, newer stove, double sink, and space for a dishwasher. The main bedroom and open design offers flexible sleeping options for family and guests. And the hi-efficiency wood stove provides cozy warmth for the whole house. Charming loft area. Laundry Room. Newer bathroom, water heater, and sump pump too. The large rear deck feels like a treehouse perch overlooking the woods and lake beyond. Tremendous charm. Creative style. Enjoy it for seasonal use now or complete the projects that remain for year-round living. Sold as-is. Just down the street from the Town Beach. 20 min. to Albany & Troy. 25 min. to Jiminy Peak. Easy drive to MA & VT and all the Berkshire attractions.
