About this home
This cozy 3-bedroom, 4-season cottage on Lake Salem has been the setting for many memories for the current owners, and now it’s your turn. Just imagine, after a day of trolling the lake for fish, you’re on the deck grilling up the day’s catch as family members and friends battle it out with a no holds barred game of cornhole. Later, with nearly full bellies, everyone gathers around the fire pit to roast some marshmallows as the sun makes its slow descent over the lake. Inside, the combined kitchen, dining and living area allows views of the lake from every spot. The U-shaped kitchen has full-sized appliances and a butcher block topped peninsula with seating for four. On chilly evenings, the Vermont Castings glass-front propane stove glows with warmth that spreads through the 864 square feet of living space. Two of the bedrooms are furnished with full-size beds while the third has two sets of bunkbeds. There's also a full bath. Down the steps from the 24x10’ deck is a nice level lawn area that leads to the 50’ of lake frontage. In the winter, the 788-acre lake offers good ice fishing as well as access to VAST trails. This home has been lovingly maintained and is being sold with many of the furnishings. Tahoe Pontoon boat available for $13,000. If you’ve been dreaming of a waterfront property, this one is worth a look.
