Overview

Description

Arguably the best waterfront location on Lake Garfield, this 1935 cottage was completely renovated, added to and winterized in 1997/98, with further recent renovations including a new metal roof and HVAC. The owners created a quintessential lake house with fresh and modern amenities, fixtures and appliances. Although one would want to spend all their time on the wraparound porches and decks, the bright interior offers a great room with a stone fireplace, a first floor primary suite, three second floor guest bedrooms and a large overflow family room, all with water views. New extensive hardscape including stone retaining walls, patio and fire pit lead to a long dock and boat lift. There's a beach for pulling up kayaks and jet skis, with easy swimming off the dock. Offered mostly furnished.
