Property Description
Classic A-frame retreat on a double lot, where mornings begin beneath the trees and evenings end around the fire. Set on a beautifully treed double lot of nearly 1/3 acre, this inviting retreat offers the lifestyle buyers seek and the flexibility they need. Inside, you'll find 764 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, including the primary bedroom and 3/4 bath on the main level and a loft bedroom tucked beneath soaring vaulted ceilings. Fresh interior paint, a cleaned and treated crawlspace, and a recently serviced wood stove and chimney make the home ready to enjoy from day one. Outside, multiple decks, a patio, and a welcoming fire pit create ideal spaces for morning coffee, afternoon relaxation and evenings beneath the stars. A chicken coop and separate laundry/utility shed add functionality and character. Located in a community with beach access, swimming pool and playground, this property is equally suited as a full-time residence, weekend escape, or vacation rental investment. With short-term rentals permitted, owners have the opportunity to enjoy the property themselves while also generating income when not in use. Whether you're searching for a peaceful retreat, an income-producing getaway, or a place to simplify and reconnect, this classic A-frame delivers a lifestyle that's increasingly hard to find.
