Live here while you build the main home or just live here as is. Two buildings with opposing shed roofs are connected via cedar deck and covered breezeway. The main space has living/dining/kitchen, 3/4 bath, and sleeping loft. It brings the outside in with large windows overlooking the natural wooded setting. The garage doubles as the main bedroom and both buildings are slab heated with a high efficiency modulating boiler. The exterior is wrapped in standing-seam metal cladding and Richlite siding. All this on 5 private acres with Lester River Frontage.
