Looking for the quiet simple life? Check out this adorable year round little cottage. One bedroom and one bath. The newly renovated kitchen is open to the spacious living area with vaulted ceilings complete with beams, and a nice front deck with enough room for a few people to have morning coffee. The wood stove efficiently heats the whole house with the comfy warmth that only wood heat can provide. There is back up electric heat, just in case. The generous oversized lot is one of the largest on the dead end dirt road, with plenty of room for cookouts and bonfires and gardens on the level lot. Private beach access is within sight and a short walk/ride to the end of the road for swimming, fishing or kayaking. If winter sports are your thing, Wachusett Mountain is less than a 30 minute drive. New paint throughout. Good things come in small packages. Year round or seasonal, this little gem is waiting for you!
