Originally a seasonal cottage, the home was converted to a year-round residence in 2019 as part of a full renovation that included new insulation, flooring, laundry room, and half bath. Additional updates include a private well (2022), new deck (2024), and stunning new kitchen, windows & siding (2025). The main living area features a beautifully updated wood-burning fireplace, custom wet bar with breakfast nook, and seamless access to the new deck-all perfectly positioned to capture breathtaking lake views.
