Description

The builder, B. W. Kosh, on his prospectus from 1958, said, "this area was know as the "Gold Coast" of Glen Lake, due to the fact, that so many people of wealth have chosen it for their country home"..... and offered terms, and a price of $13,500. Also claiming, "Two years of careful planning and building went into this house by a craftsman who at all times, strove for perfection." This wonderful little cottage has stood the test of time, given the love that must have been put into it back then,...The builder, B. W. Kosh, on his prospectus from 1958, said, "this area was know as the "Gold Coast" of Glen Lake, due to the fact, that so many people of wealth have chosen it for their country home"..... and offered terms, and a price of $13,500. Also claiming, "Two years of careful planning and building went into this house by a craftsman who at all times, strove for perfection." This wonderful little cottage has stood the test of time, given the love that must have been put into it back then, and shared by the family that has owned it since it was new. This masterpiece is now ready for you, to share in the love as well. "Plastered and painted walls, high insulation values, natural art stone fireplace, oak floors, ample clothes closets, a profusion of cabinets, 100 feet on beautiful Glen Lake, 122 feet on county road, maintained throughout the year, terrace facing one of the most gorgeous and wide views of Glen Lake". The mid-century modern charm remains, with a few changes; new windows, quartz kitchen counter top and sink (on top of the "profusion" of cabinets), bathroom has heated tile floors, tile around the tub/shower, new fixtures, bedroom ceiling fans, wonderful, lake and sunset facing, huge deck, the former single-car garage was converted into a charming, pine paneled bunk room (not included in the square footage, it has no heat source, but could be added). The septic will need to be upgraded per the required health department point of sale evaluation, but the sellers will escrow funds for replacement, per the ordinance. Brooks Road is a partially paved, partial gravel, dead end, year around, county maintained, as the builder pointed out, most wouldn't even know it existed, so lightly traveled. If you're looking for a little slice of paradise, with potential for some future expansion, or not, on Big Glen, this could be your chance to land, on the "Gold Coast" Offer deadline July 10, '23 at 5:00PM so plenty of time to see!
