Original rustic charm throughout w/ a large screened-in porch steps from the water, a fireplace, wood beams, beadboard & floors awash in a warm patina of yesteryear. A boathouse, fire-pit & great swimming & boating will help create new summer memories! Many possibilities exist on this lot - the 30% expansion has not been utilized.
