Description

This expanded Cape Cod home, set on a country road, overlooks Paulinskill Lake & has partial water views, is in good condition & has a motivated seller. Not a short or distressed sale, it's all good. More spacious than most, the home features quality construction, straight/solid walls & floors, 6 panel fir doors & an auto-on generator. With 2 BRs & a full bath on each level, there is potential for a separate suite on either floor. Lots of closets-you should never run out of storage space here.

An impressive stone fireplace anchors the living room & has a propane insert. Thought to be move in ready, you may want to update here & there going forward, but this home has been well-designed & cared for & presents very well. Research the top-rated schools! Priced $20k under valuation, no disappointments. Must see!
