If you listen carefully you can hear the gentle rush of the cascading water as it leads its way down the brook that crosses the property. Just a short stroll away to the lake’s shores can be a daily luxury.

When you enter the foyer you are greeted with an old-world fireplace that can be used to welcome your guests and warm those cold winter feet and hands. Hardwood oak floors fit the vintage feel of the front of the house. Turning down the hall you enter the quaint, yet bright and airy, Living room which contains an antique floor-to-ceiling white brick fireplace accompanied with a second smaller one with its black iron door that was once used for baking.
