Realtor Comments
The interior of the cottage boasts a stone woodburning fireplace in the living room, eat-in kitchen, 2 bedrooms, one bathroom and an enclosed porch. There is a detached 1-car garage, woodshed and an older mobile home that could be used as a ‘bunk house.’ Newer well pump. Walk across the street to a shared, deeded 20′ wide ROW, approximately 500′ in length, leading to the lake access and beach area, where you can launch a canoe or kayak (no dock; see easement deed). Enjoy sunsets on Schroon Lake! Most furnishing remaining with the house.
