LAKEFRONT LIVING! This property was once a cottage but check it out now! Starting at the back you’ll find approx. 77 feet of lake frontage with plenty of space for boating, fishing, and swimming. Turn back toward the house and you’ll see the glass sunroom overlooking the lake. This is the perfect spot to soak up the sunlight on cooler days while watching the wildlife. The attached deck with a slider will lead you into the living room with its beautiful hardwood floors. Your views of the lake continue into the tiled kitchen with brand new appliances including a gas stove. Off the kitchen is spacious ½ bath and laundry room. The first floor is complete with the main bedroom including a large closet and private full bath. Adjacent to the main bedroom is another room perfect for a home office or hobby area. Upstairs, you’ll find many possibilities, there is bedroom complete with lake views and the second full bathroom. But at either end of the second floor, you’ll find unfinished attic space suitable for storage, another office maybe a play space. Back downstairs and outside you get a spacious garage bay to store all your lake life necessities and an extra parking space adjacent to the driveway. Hickory Hills Lake is one of New England's largest private lakes. The community offers access to three beaches, a boat ramp, islands and coves to explore.
