Buy Waterfront in the Depths of Winter and SAVE!


Here’s a chance to buy a classic waterfront retreat OR a breathtaking year-round residence. This tudor style stunner is warm, inviting, and affordable and boasts 3 spacious bdrms, 2 baths, and loads of outdoor living space. Bathe in natural light from the cathedral ceiling as you sit by the winter fire. Enjoy ample room to garden on the level, landscaped .56 acre lot in the spring and while away the summer on the sandy, south facing beach. Warning-if you view this home you won't want to leave, and when you own it, neither will your guests so it's a good thing a separately metered guest cabin can fully accommodate 6-8 friends or relatives comfortably on the property's north grounds. The seller is motivated and the property is listed below assessed value at only $749,900.00 for quick sale. Think about buying now before the Waterfront market heats up in the Spring.
