Serene Escape with Creek Tucked away in the peaceful setting of a nature lover’s dream is a spectacularly renovated cabin retreat. Enjoy the sound of flowing creek water out front and the privacy of a wooded backdrop from the rear, all just minutes from Rt. 222 and 78. Across the newly redone wooden bridge, a welcoming facade of wood and a long covered front porch lures you to the main entry. Inside, you’re greeted by the awesome main living space, highlighted by vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and wood walls. It starts with the carpeted living room, which has large front windows, a pellet stove, ceiling fan, and convenient storage space in the ceiling. The nearby dining room continues the aesthetic with the addition of corner cabinetry, large windows, gorgeous blonde pine wood floors that flow to the kitchen, and access to the covered side porch. The dining area opens right up to the kitchen, where great features like wood countertops, a double soapstone sink, and all new cabinetries beautify the space, while electric cooking, a built-in microwave, range, and pantry space make meal prep together more enjoyable. Right off the living space is the relaxing bedroom, which features carpeting, two small closets, and a ceiling fan, as well as easy access to the full bathroom with laminate floor, a tall vanity with granite top, and stall shower. The nearby laundry has a vaulted wood ceiling, mechanicals, and separate entry for added convenience. Create a space that’s all your own in the completely upgraded hobby shed with a covered front porch and cathedral wood ceiling. Take full advantage of all the possibilities thanks to full plumbing, electric, baseboard heat, and a 220 line, as well as a half bathroom with wash bin sink. Invite family and friends over for the ultimate outdoor gathering at your own massive picnic pavilion, complete with electric and a large cooler space to make hosting easy and your guests happy all day and night!
