Welcome to an exceptional lake-view retreat, where refined comfort meets effortless single-level living. Freshly painted and beautifully set against the backdrop of Lake Hitchcock, this cottage/ranch-style home offers a rare blend of warmth, character, and year-round scenic appeal. The front-to-back open floor plan creates an inviting sense of space, while the sunroom extends the living area seamlessly to a wraparound composite deck designed for relaxing, entertaining, and taking in sweeping all-season water views. Inside, thoughtful features elevate everyday living, including newer stainless-steel appliances, hardwood flooring, a striking stone fireplace with pellet stove, two generously sized bedrooms, and a radiant-heated bathroom floor. Significant upgrades have already been completed, including newer windows, upgraded plumbing, newer 200-amp electrical service, and a generator hookup, offering both comfort and peace of mind. Low-maintenance vinyl siding, a newer storage shed, circular and extended concrete driveway, and a full walkout basement with potential for future expansion or a third bedroom further enhance the property's appeal. The lower level also includes another Pellet stove that can heat the entire home! Set on just under a half-acre landscaped lot with incredible lake views, this distinctive home presents an extraordinary opportunity not to be missed.
