Rarely does a home with this much heart and history reach the market. Lovingly maintained by the same owners for 42 years, this single-level residence began its story as a seasonal cottage at Long Pond and has since evolved into a year-round retreat filled with character. The updated kitchen is a standout, featuring warm cherry cabinetry, ample pantry storage, and durable Corian countertops. A gas stove awaits the home chef, while the built-in banquette seating—complete with integrated storage—is tucked into a sunny corner surrounded by windows. Two overhead skylights flood the space with natural light, making it a bright and inviting spot for morning coffee. The primary bedroom offers a peaceful escape, accented by a decorative fireplace and unique decorative leaded glass windows that swing open to invite in fresh air and circulation. This retreat also provides direct access to the yard. An additional bedrooms provides exceptional storage with double closets. Nearby, the 3/4 bathroom has also been tastefully updated. In the main living area, cathedral ceilings and two additional skylights create an airy, open feel. A classic brick feature wall anchors the room, offering the potential for a future wood or pellet stove installation. Transitioning from indoor to outdoor living is seamless via the slider, which leads to a dedicated BBQ deck. For larger gatherings, the mudroom and laundry area opens onto an expansive deck. This outdoor space is perfectly positioned to capture the cool morning sun and the warm afternoon sun, which beautifully heats the entire room. The exterior of the home is as thoughtful as the interior. A durable metal roof provides long-term protection, while a natural gas generator offers total peace of mind. The grounds are a true highlight, featuring a convenient storage shed and lush perennial gardens that wrap the home in seasonal color. Ideal for a 1st time buyer, downsizer, lake enthusiast or romantic get away spot! This is a unique opportunity to own a piece of Long Pond’s history, reimagined for modern living.
