Property Description
This charming Cottage-style home, constructed in 1935 and situated in Twin Lakes, is just a short distance from Twin Lakes Beach and clubhouse/pavilion, boasting lake & beach views!! The property includes 3-4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and 1 utility bath. Upon arriving, you will be captivated by the allure of this nearly century-old home. The first floor of the original structure encompasses a spacious front living room with a fireplace, dining room, kitchen, sunroom/office, morning room/dinette, an updated full bath, and a lovely step-down family room added later, also featuring a fireplace. The second floor offers 3 bedrooms and another full bath, with an additional sizable bonus room space on the third floor that could function as a 4th bedroom or for various other purposes. Most living areas and bedrooms boast original wood floors (though not all are exposed), and there are replacement windows throughout. The interior of the home has been freshly painted and professionally cleaned. The property's details and charm, such as wainscoting, a living room nook with bookcases & slate floor, a half-circle front entry door, glass doorknobs, & wood floors, contribute to its appeal. Outside, a delightful back patio provides privacy, along with welcoming paverstone entry steps and a brick walkway to the front door. The sizable two-bay garage, which can accommodate at least two cars deep on each side, will be a delight for car enthusiasts, woodworkers, or mechanics. The roof was replaced in 2017, and the range and refrigerator in 2021. The water softener was replaced in 2024. Other mechanicals and improvements can be found in the MLS supplements provided by your Buyer Agent. A one-year HOME WARRANTY is included by the seller for the buyer. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy the best of lake living... Experience the charm of living near the water—there's truly nothing like it!
