This reimagined lakeside cottage is an idyllic retreat with a 265 acre pristine lake at your doorstep. A combination of open lofted spaces and intricate details evoke a rustic sophistication punctuated by stunning views. Grain fir floors, locally quarried stone, a gas fireplace, beamed ceilings and window seat enhance spaces crafted for multiple uses. A sun-filled kitchen has gas cooking and incredible storage. The great room offers dedicated dining and seating areas. A first-floor bedroom features exposed stone. The mudroom/laundry/office and a full bath complete this level. A turned stair leads to the primary suite with views.
