At present, the central hub of the place is complete with a well-equipped kitchen, dining area, and a vintage brick fireplace. Upstairs, you’ll find a magnificent game room with lofty ceilings. You can also access a charming sleeping loft featuring two twin beds that can be converted into a king-size bed.
Downstairs, a secluded master suite awaits, boasting a romantic fireplace to kindle cozy evenings and a private deck overlooking the lake. Moreover, the property has a three-car parking space at your disposal.
