The formal dining room opens through French doors to a rare breakfast room and kitchen. A second French door leads to a charming three-season room surrounded by windows, offering peaceful views of the backyard.The main level also includes three generous sized bedrooms and a full bath. The basement is full of vintage charm, featuring original knotty pine paneling, a checkered floor, and a spacious recreation room. You'll also find a second full bath, laundry room with the original deep utility sink, workshop, and plenty of storage with built-in shelving. A true showstopper is the oversized unfinished attic. With soaring angled ceilings, paneled walls, and original pine floors that evoke the feel of a Northwoods cottage, this incredible space, not seen very often, is truly special.
