Just minutes from town yet privately tucked among the woods, this charming cottage offers both convenience and privacy. Fully insulated and solidly constructed with heavy beams on concrete Sono tubes, it is designed for more than just seasonal use. The lake-drawn water system is also fully insulated and heated. A full-length screened porch with removable glass panels creates the ideal place to relax with a hot cup of coffee while listening to the loons and taking in the natural surroundings. Inside, the vaulted living room ceiling enhances the spacious open layout, while exposed wood beams and wood interiors create a cozy atmosphere. A half bath with a composting toilet is conveniently located just off the kitchen and near the bedroom. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms are separated by an open loft that overlooks the living area below. Just off the porch, a separate building houses the laundry area, shower, and an additional composting toilet. Storage is plentiful with both a 6-by-8-foot tool shed and a 12-by-20-foot reinforced canopy carport. Finished with vinyl siding and a metal roof, this easy-care property gives you more time to relax and enjoy the waterfront setting.
