Description

This charming, move-in ready pondside retreat has everything you love about a peaceful vacation spot - and all the conveniences and comforts of home. Imagine sipping your coffee on the screened porch overlooking the pond, watching the songbirds migrate from your kitchen table, and being lulled by the rain on the metal roof. Not to mention a primary bedroom with en-suite bathroom, ample storage space (5 closets!), an enclosed front porch turned great room, and an eat-in kitchen with a pass through to the dining room.As the third owner of this beautiful log cabin, you benefit from the thoughtful details and loving upgrades over the years - some practical, some beautiful, and some both! Enjoy the fireplace hand-built from the foundation of a nearby farmhouse by a master mason; the soft cork floors in the kitchen that are soft on your joints and will never break a glass; to the solid brass doorknobs that ground you every day. The house features wood and gas fireplaces, convection stove, micro-filter heater, washer/dryer that feeds a sustainable grey water system, and even a generator that can fully power heat and electrical just in case. On a generous double lot, the property is edged by the Galestown Mill Pond, and includes a small dock and shoreline boat storage as well as two freestanding sheds. The front yard features native pollinator plantings, and the adjoined lot includes a small fruit orchard with apple, peach, and plum trees. The backyard is fully fenced in, offering privacy and safety. The garage includes an art studio with heart pine floors, a workshop space, and same-level laundry.
