This home feels spacious with its large kitchen open to the family room. Kitchen has great cabinet/counter space along with butcher block topped island, vaulted ceiling, woodstove and sliders leading out to wonderful flat yard. Maybe you need a den or office, this home has it, along with a large laundry room, big enough to add shelving or counters. Two bedrooms and a full bath round out this lovely home. Basement is great for storage and there's a shed too! Membership to ROLZA is not mandatory, but if you want to use private beach and pavilion the price per year is $55.
