Description
Enjoy year-round living on the shores of Forest Pond, where the home's elevated setting captures beautiful, tranquil water views. This inviting property features a bright, open-concept layout connecting the kitchen, dining, and living areas--ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Step outside to a spacious deck, perfect for relaxing or hosting summer BBQs overlooking the water.
The main level provides a convenient first-floor bedroom and full bath, providing flexible living options. The assessor lists the home as a three-bedroom; however, one room has traditionally been used as a bonus space and does not have a door, making it well-suited for a den, office, or guest overflow.
The walk-out lower level expands your living space with two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom, with direct access to the backyard from one of the bedrooms--ideal for guests or extended stays. A large two-car attached garage provides ample storage and the convenience of keeping vehicles protected from winter weather.
Outside, enjoy all that waterfront living has to give with a well-designed docking system and a lakeside platform--perfect for sunbathing, swimming, or taking in peaceful sunset views.
Whether you're searching for a full-time residence or a seasonal getaway with potential for occasional rental income, this property delivers the best of both worlds. Conveniently located just minutes from West Cumberland, you'll have easy access to local favorites and quick connections to the highway for an easy commute.
A wonderful opportunity to enjoy waterfront living in every season.
