Step into this one-of-a-kind home, boasting the charm and character that is highly regarded, along with the updates and improvements that will make you want to call it your own! Cherished and well-maintained by the same owner for the last 40 years, the love and appreciation for the home and property show. The property is just under an acre and offers a detached 2-stall garage with an attached 27x23 workshop equipped with natural gas heating, generator hook-up, and half bath! If the storage in the workshop is not enough, there is a 19x5 covered, powered, and concreted lean-to as well! Upon entering from the driveway, you are greeted with an expansive and up-to-date kitchen boasting a large center island with a veggie sink, built-in desk area, and eating area in the corner. All appliances will stay, including the double-oven range for the nights of entertaining and feeding the masses! Past the kitchen, you will find 2 bedrooms and a full bath. The original hardwood floors and intricate woodworking add to the charm. Do not look past the door that opens to stairs leading to an unfinished attic space with a window and skylights offering almost 800 square feet of added possibilities! There is a formal dining area with a beautifully finished 4-season room through double French doors. The living area has a wood-burning fireplace surrounded by built-ins that flow with the décor and character of the home. There is a third bedroom off the living area as well. All bedrooms are equipped with closets and automatic lighting. Downstairs offers plenty more storage and the laundry area with a sink. There is also a fully finished 14x30 room that can be used as a second living area, a future bedroom with added egress, and more. All windows have been replaced with the vast majority offering a tilt-in for easy cleaning, the roof was replaced in 2008, and the entire sewer line from home to street was done in 2017. If all of that is not enough, do not disregard the location! Close to town, shopping, restaurants, the local library, the Hart-Montague bike trail and anything you'd like to do on the lakeshore-this is IT! Nestled off the road and offering an over-sized lot with frequent visits from a variety of birds to appreciate, you are in the mix of what you need to do but have the privacy and tranquility so many desire. Do not hesitate on this one, schedule your private showing right away!
