The home that love built!! This property is about 1 mile from north beach at Lake Willoughby! Tucked into the woods on a dead end road. Built by the seller in 1987. This home is unique, comes with its own "ballroom" out back for family gatherings. Covered porch runs the entire length of front and there is an enclosed porch to the back. Currently sellers only use wood heat, would need to upgrade this for conventional financing. Last part of road to property is private with no maintenance agreement. Beautiful wood floors and cathedral ceilings. There is an attached 2 car garage that has been modified making space for the 3rd bedroom. Priced to sell and well below town assessment!
