Thoughtful landscaping has created an outdoor space that feels welcoming from the moment you arrive. Downstairs, the lower level is already equipped with a washer and dryer, along with existing plumbing, a shower, and commode, providing an excellent starting point for additional living space, a hobby area, workshop, or guest accommodations. Whether you're looking for a year-round home or a place to escape the pace of everyday life, this property offers a comfortable setting, attractive updates, and a location that keeps lakes, trails, and town conveniences close at hand.
