Overview

Description

Location is key! Close to Dunton Locks and with easy access to the Heartland Trail, this completely renovated cabin with a fresh landscape offers 100 ft of frontage on Munson Lake, West-facing views, and a new septic! Request a complete list of updates. As you enter, you're greeted by an inviting atmosphere that flows seamlessly through the open-concept layout. Walking through the entrance with convenient storage, the heart of this home is the stunning kitchen, featuring vaulted ceilings and black stainless-steel appliances. These include a plumbed refrigerator and a modern gas range, complemented by a custom vented microwave hood, which enhances the warm, natural beauty of the hickory cabinets. Quartz countertops add a touch of luxury while providing ample space for meal preparation and casual dining. The living and dining areas are bathed in natural light, thanks to expansive windows that frame a picturesque West/ NW view over Munson Lake. Vaulted ceilings in select areas create an airy ambiance, enhancing the sense of spaciousness throughout the home. Rich, wood-look LVP flooring unifies the space, offering both durability and aesthetic appeal. Retreat to the tranquil primary bedroom, a generous 130 sq. ft. sanctuary perfect for relaxation and rejuvenation. The second bedroom offers versatile space that can be used as a guest room, home office, or personal workout area. The bathroom showcases a blend of style and practicality, with a quartz top vanity, elegant fixtures, and a custom tile shower with a quartz bench. Every detail has been carefully considered to create a space that is both functional and visually appealing. Energy-efficient LED lighting and updated systems, such as the HE Bryant Furnace and Tankless gas water heater, ensure comfort while minimizing environmental impact. New wiring/plumbing, and spray foam insulation. Whether you're seeking a lake getaway or considering a vacation investment property, this charming lakefront residence has plenty of upside. The building pad is prepped and ready for you to break ground on a 30x40 garage. If you desire more living space, a loft can be easily incorporated into your garage build. The landscape is also ready for your personal touch. The heavy lifting has already been completed for you. Seventy-five truckloads were excavated to allow for the garage building pad, create a gentler slope to the lake, and construct an expansive 100+ ft boulder wall on the North property line. New septic system installed in Fall 2024 and recently certified. Don't miss the chance to make this dream a reality – schedule your viewing today and step into the future you've always envisioned. Seller is a licensed Real Estate Agent.
