Set on a beautifully maintained .22-acre lot along a county-maintained street with easy winter access, this storybook cabin makes an impression before you even reach the front door. A steep gabled roofline and cedar shake siding rise above stone wainscoting along the base, framed by a beautifully landscaped front yard.Step inside to a charming, vin

tage-feeling mudroom that opens straight into a warm living room, dining area, and kitchen, full of original character: open beam ceilings, heavy wood doors, and original cabinetry the current owners have lovingly preserved and meticulously maintained.

The kitchen is fully equipped with newer appliances, and a full bath and laundry closet complete the main level. To the right, a few steps down, a generously sized primary bedroom offers its own loft space, while original stairs at the center of the home lead up to a second bedroom with its own adjacent office.Beneath that character, the systems ha

ve been thoroughly modernized: over $60,000 in updates completed in 2017, including new insulation, drywall, and double-pane windows throughout, a heavy-duty propane line run fresh from tank to house, and a rebuilt bathroom with a custom tiled shower.

Electrical was upgraded with a generator receptacle at the panel.Out back, a magical, fully fenced yard centers on a custom deck and private spa, with a greenhouse and two storage sheds tucked in alongside a dedicated firewood shed. A large carport with boat parking sits to the left of the house, while dedicated RV parking is found on the right.A rare combination of preserved character and modern reliability, ready for its next owner.
