About This Home
As of October 2012Think back to the time when Spring Lake was just being developed, when you could pick any location to build your home, and one that would provide you with endless sunsets and a panoramic view from a private point to enjoy your days and nights. This is the location of this historic Grand Dame of Spring Lake. This home was built in 1922 and while still having all the charm of this era, has been updated to meet all today's amenities. Located on a private drive, this is truly a place to enjoy time away from the hectic stress of your busy life. 1990 all windows & doors were replaced, insulation blown into walls. 2 new furnaces and central air installed, plumbing and electrical were updated and kitchen remolded. Oak and slate floors are throughout the main level.
