Read the full listing description
Perched above the water with expansive, unobstructed lake views, this charming two bedroom, one-bath lake cottage offers the best of lake living. Town records show 707 sq.ft. but with the additional enclosed porch it lives like an~1100 sq.ft. home. Large windows create expansive lake views, offering front-row views of swans, roaming wildlife, and ever- changing seasonal landscape-from skaters gliding across the frozen lake in winter to kayaking and fishing all summer and New England's spectacular fall foliage. The beach, with kayak storage and floating dock is at the bottom of the street- lake association membership is optional. Inside, the spacious primary bedroom is surprisingly large in size, with a large closet and walk up attic for potential future expansion or great storage. The original stone fireplace adds character to the living room. The Wood floors have been redone, the interior was painted, and baseboards added. Set on a rare- flat lot, the property offers ideal space for outdoor enjoyment and flexibility, expansion, rebuilding. A dock below belongs to this home. Boundaries are the railroad ties & stone wall past the big tree; the driveway side is the steps. Improvements - updated electric, a new heat pump and ductwork, repaved driveway and more. Located in a tight-knit community known for neighborhood gatherings. Rainbow Lake offers a unique blend of charm, nature, and connection with close by Town open space for hiking.
