About this House

This is your chance to live in a home in a park like setting on Lake Road with 2.98 acres in Princeton. Relax and enjoy the view from the hilltop while sitting on the huge outside porch. The rustic home was built in 1962 by the original owner who loved to work with wood. Every interior wood piece was hand selected and worked on by the original owner. The interior walls are lined by red cedar wood. The closets in the bedrooms are cedar lined. The stainless steel kitchen stove is the original one and is now a collector's item. The living room has large windows allowing plenty of natural light to enter. A large wood burning fire place at the end of the living room will provide plenty of quite time for reading or you can enjoy watching the snow fall in the winter while sitting in a cozy warm room. The present owner and only second owner of the home, has added an office to the home, replaced all carpeting and installed laminate floor in the hallway. A breakfast bar was added to the kitchen counter top. A new field bed for the septic system was added in 2009. The backyard has a 60 ft Guyed Tower for a ham radio antenna. The metal roof has a 50 year warranty and is only 5 years old. One of the garage slots is set up as a wood working room and is a handyman's dream. All woodwork that is in the home was finished in this room. Excluded from sale: Refrigerator, washer & dryer and all tools in the garage.
