Set on a full acre of peaceful countryside, this charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offers the kind of lifestyle that’s becoming increasingly hard to find—privacy, open space, and natural beauty, all within walking distance of Twin Lakes Beach. It’s the perfect place to enjoy quiet mornings with coffee on the porch and relaxing evenings surrounded by the sounds of nature.

From the moment you arrive, the property’s peaceful setting makes an impression. Framed by mature trees and generous open yard space, it offers a wonderful sense of privacy without feeling too remote. The expansive yard provides plenty of room for gardening, outdoor gatherings, recreation, or simply enjoying the calm atmosphere. A detached shed adds valuable storage space, while the deck and multiple entry points create easy opportunities to enjoy the outdoors from every angle.

Inside, the home feels warm, comfortable, and functional, with a simple layout that makes everyday living easy. Natural light flows through the main living areas, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere that feels instantly welcoming and easy to make your own. The kitchen is both efficient and cheerful, offering enough space for daily cooking and casual dining, while the nearby living areas connect comfortably for a relaxed and practical flow.

The bedrooms are cozy and well-sized, providing comfortable spaces for rest without any wasted space. One of the home’s most appealing features is the 4-season porch, which adds valuable living space and creates a peaceful place to enjoy the property throughout the year. Whether you’re spending a summer evening, enjoying a cool fall afternoon, or relaxing on a quiet winter morning, this room offers the perfect setting to stay connected to the beauty of the outdoors while remaining comfortably indoors.

What truly adds value to this property is the extensive work that has already been completed. Over the past seven years, several major updates have been made, including a new septic system (2020), roof, furnace, electrical panel, windows, exterior door, water filtration system, and a reinforced deck. With these important improvements already in place, much of the major maintenance has been taken care of—giving buyers peace of mind and a strong foundation to build on.

The unfinished basement offers even more potential. At the moment, it’s a blank canvas—but that’s exactly what makes it so exciting. Whether you envision additional bedrooms, a family room, home office, workshop, or a dedicated hobby space, this lower level gives you the flexibility to shape the home around your own needs and lifestyle without being limited by someone else’s choices.

This property doesn’t rely on flashy features or over-the-top finishes—and that’s exactly what makes it so appealing. It’s a well-maintained, practical home that offers land, privacy, and genuine potential in a peaceful setting. Whether you’re searching for a starter home, a weekend retreat, or an investment property you can continue to improve over time, this home provides a solid foundation to make it your own.

And with Twin Lakes Beach just a short walk away, you’re getting more than just a place to live—you’re stepping into a lifestyle that blends relaxation, natural beauty, and everyday comfort in one inviting location.
