Historic Lake Front Home! Built in 1700, "The Mansion House of David Johnson" was built by David Johnson. He also built the lake and used the cedar removed from its bottoms to build his home. The current owner lovingly renovated the home in 1999. At that time all paint and plaster was removed from the original wood. In 2002 it was featured on the HGTV show, "If Walls Could Talk". The first floor features a covered porch; the living room opens to roomy eat-in kitchen. The kitchen has hand made cabinets, a lake view and French doors leading out to a large wood deck. Also located on the first floor is a large laundry/mud room, and a family room with wood-burning stove that could also be used as a home office. A nice sized pantry is off the kitchen.

There are 4 bedrooms and a bathroom on the 2nd floor: Master bedroom with exposed wood wall, the nursery has exposed wood ceiling and beams, the 3rd bedroom has exposed brick, wood ceiling and floor.
