Whether you're looking for a weekend retreat, vacation rental, or second home, this property offers possibilities. Extensively improved in 2024, the home features major system upgrades designed for comfort, efficiency, and long-term peace of mind, including a solar system, new HVAC, new water heater, and a new composition roof with Leaf Filter gutters. Additional improvements include Andersen Renewal energy-efficient windows, upgraded attic insulation, door seals, new appliances, and a new fireplace insert.
