Our Take
185 Great Quarter Road is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home with an open floor plan, newer kitchen and appliances, and whole-house updates. High ceilings, hardwood floors, fresh paint, newer propane heat, and a generator hookup are noted. The property borders state forest land and offers access to hiking trails, Lake Zoar, Eichler’s Cove town beach, and a boat launch. A back patio, front porch, nearby stream, and nature-oriented setting add outdoor features, while I-84, shopping, schools, parks, and restaurants are described as a quick drive away.
