About This Home

As of January 2023

“We need the tonic of wildness… We can never have enough of nature” – Henry David Thoreau. Welcome to Walden Puddle! Built in 1928, this timeless log home is situated on a tranquil artesian well-fed pond surrounded by nearly 2.5 acres of natural landscape. When you walk through the door, you are welcomed by old world craftsmanship featuring rock maple hardwood floors, original millwork trim and native Jersey white cedar logs. With four bedrooms and two baths, there is a spacious yet cozy feeling throughout this 3,000 sq.ft. home – great for families and guests. The focal point of the interior is the massive 2-story stone great room fireplace that opens up to the living room, office, dining room, and kitchen. Exposed beams and trusses of the ceilings are complimented by the many built-in shelves and original lighting fixtures. The east-facing kitchen w/ views of the pond extends the entire length of the cabin and features a free-standing wood burning stove, center island, granite counter tops, stainless stove (propane cooktop), breakfast table, and an additional seating area overlooking the glass enclosed Florida room. The second floor consists of four bedrooms, one of which has built-in bunk beds and a full hall bath. Oil heat and central air provide for the perfect temperature all year long while the solar panel system offsets energy/electric costs. This home is a one of a kind opportunity to have the best of both worlds: a rural retreat & a close drive to the beaches. Seller is installing a new county approved septic system. Property is being sold "As Is".
