Property Description
Luxurious Waterfront Cottage with Panoramic Views! Truly the epitome of turnkey, this stunning year-round waterfront home comes fully furnished, exquisitely designed, and immaculately kept. Purchased in 2021 as a family retreat, the cottage has since been meticulously re-imagined, renovated, and enhanced, with every detail thought through and carefully considered. The result is not merely a summer cottage, but rather a tastefully appointed getaway that draws one all four seasons. The home's interior is coziness and elegance defined, with a handsome fieldstone fireplace and wood-stove, designer lighting, a blend of antique and new furnishings, and textures and materials that evoke feelings of warmth and comfort.
