The open floor plan features a versatile farmhouse-style kitchen that is open to the living room / dining room and there is a wood stove, ideal for cool summer evenings or crisp fall mornings. A small den or office adds additional living space, while two full baths and a laundry room complete the main floor. On the second floor is a spacious landing area with built-ins and three comfortable bedrooms. The appealing grounds include expert stonework and perennial garden beds, with stairs accessing a pocket sand and pebble beach.

The 6.5± acre property is divided by Forest Lake Road and there is 600± feet of frontage on Forest Lake, as well as another 850± feet of shoreline on Forest Lake Brook, which rambles pleasantly from Forest Lake to the Medomak River.
