About This Home

As of May 2023

A stunning, move-in ready, lakefront home! Sweet and charming NighDuck Cottage was completely remodeled from the studs out in 2012, leaving no detail overlooked. The custom renovation included new wiring, plumbing, insulation, floor joists, oak flooring, sunroom addition, composite deck, gas furnace, central AC, 1000 gal septic tank, remodeled baths and kitchen, fieldstone chimney, soapstone woodstove, and walls of Andersen windows. Two vintage windows in front retain the original character of the home. Inside, there are pocket doors and stained-glass transoms, beadboard cathedral ceilings, so many exquisite details - must see to appreciate! The inviting living room and sunroom showcase sweeping views of the tranquil lake. The kitchen boasts beautiful cabinetry and granite countertops. The sunroom, currently an office, was previously used as a second bedroom. For outdoor living, enjoy the spacious deck, perfect for entertaining and soaking up the sun. The backyard offers direct access to the lake, you can jump right in and take a refreshing swim or explore by kayak, stand-up paddleboard or canoe. The sign over the two car garage says it all, "Sometimes, the best adventures are in my own backyard". When you want to socialize, enjoy the lake association beaches and community. Fantastic location in Guilford near the Timberland hiking trails and Guilford Lakes Golf Course, and an easy drive into town. This could be yours before summer, book your showing today!
