Off of the dining are patio doors leading to the lakeside stone patio area. This year round home is evenly heated with zoned, dual-fuel in-floor heat. There is a natural fieldstone framed fireplace, a true characteristic of our Northwoods. Upstairs is a second bedroom and 3/4 bath, both bedrooms have beautiful west facing lake views overlooking Burntside Lake. There is ample land to build a larger home on the property if desired. Landscaped with beautiful perennial gardens, stone patio, and walkways, within a diverse forest including huge red and white pines. The beautiful ledge rock ridge provides an amazing natural buffer, creating an incredibly private and peaceful setting. Make this your lake place escape for recreating and quiet leisure.
