Stairs from the ground level lead to a sitting mezzanine and then upward to the main level of the house where you find the high ceiling, 28’ x 30’ living room with walls & ceiling paneled in beautiful chestnut and floors of gleaming hardwood. The curved stone fireplace is magnificent. This is truly a GREAT ROOM! To the rear of the house is the master bedroom suite, consisting of a spacious bedroom, full bath and den.

From the Great room, a lovely stairway leads to a 2nd mezzanine sitting area, then on to the third floor that has a full bath, one very large & two smaller bedrooms that can provide sleeping quarters for 6 to 8 people. This floor has a whole house ceiling fan to bring in the cool night air when desired.

The owner has found that even though the house is not insulated; the furnace can maintain a comfortable inside temperature until the outside temperature falls below 40 degrees.˚. A detached 2-car garage/workshop is included with the home.

The septic system is located on the north side of the house between the house and the driveway near the garage. A new septic system was installed in the fall of 2007 and winter of 2008. The roof was replaced 20 years ago with 25-year shingles.

There are two water systems; in 2008 a 500' deep well was drilled on the south side of the house for domestic water; water is pumped from the lake for outside watering. The lake system can supply the entire house by changing two valves.
